Notes About The Poem


For Tania Kitchin's 'Humorous or Bawdy Limerick ' Poetry Contest

#38 on Top 100 New Poems list as of September 15, 2026

Dumb Claire

Movie watching, sat Ben with dumb Claire.
Claire held popcorn she wished not to share.
Down her blouse went Ben’s paws.
Claire just laughed then because
she knew well that no popcorn was there.

Back with congrats, Andrea, a worthy win. (Should I say this? I think it should have been placed much higher.)

You came up with a good one, no surprise as I know how deep your creative well is, actually I don't, it may be endless. Limericks aren't my thing, but I would try one if I had an idea. I don't. Remind me to tell you a story about popcorn if you can remember. Whatcha doing BD girl?

I had a nice day. Angie will do my bday stuff tomorrow with cake and pizza. Joe and I saw By Any Means. A harrowing civil right take that is mostly fictional though based on an actual investigation by FBI into killings by Ku Klux klan

Perhaps Claire was not so dumb after all, otherwise she would have used a mouse trap. Very funny, exactly what a limerick should be.

Haha, Ben's ruse seems a little transparent, but then, I guess Claire's not so smart - lol😄
