Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Ear Ear

Poor Charlie came home from school in tears
He’d been teased about his huge jug ears
His mum gave him a big kiss
Said I wont tolerate this
For the teasing had gone on for years

The kids called him names like Dumbo
For his huge ears hung down so low
The doctor agreed
There was a great need
For these enormous ears to go

Soon an operation was performed
Charlie’s huge ears have now been transformed
Now small and petite
They look really neat
His new lug holes can never be scorned

Andrea Dietrich August 4, 2016 at 6:13 PM SWEET set of story limericks, Jan. Cute picture. I did a story for Julia's contest. Too bad we don't get points any more.

Tim Smith August 3, 2016 at 10:15 AM Kids will find any little thing to pick on someone...He needs to stand tall and be proud of who he is...if we let others think we are different than we really are we lose. Jan Allison August 3, 2016 at 10:16 AM I agree with you Tim its our differences that make us unique:-) hugs Jan xx

Daniel Turner August 3, 2016 at 10:05 AM Having large ears is a sign of generosity in a person. Sad limerick Jan. Now all Charlie has to do is grow a little more hair and open his eyes and the kids will quit making fun of him. Just kidding around!
