Escaping the Blob

Keep your tentacles away from me

Touching your body stings like a bee

     Pardon me, for I am on the lam

     Foot crushed by the shell of a clam 

Pray you won’t follow me as I flee

Robert Pettit Date: 2/15/2011 7:36:00 PM You have described jellyfish very well in this limerick. When I saw the title, I was expecting to see something describing the Steve McQueen movie. Login to Reply

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Date: 7/10/2010 9:04:00 AM Carolyn, I can hear the spooky escape music in the background as the giant jellyfish gropes for your body...DON'T STING! ...as you FLEE! Pardon me, but this is funny! SMILES, Dane Ann Login to Reply

Gerard Keogh Jr. Date: 7/9/2010 9:02:00 PM It sounds like you've been there. I had that happen to me one year when they all congregated in close to shore down at Manasquan, New Jersey because of the warm water currents. They were like filled up plastic bags. God, they are bizarre, truly like aliens from Saturn . I HOPE you like Nat King Cole, because YOU are about to get him... Login to Reply

Joseph Spence Sr Date: 7/9/2010 11:39:00 AM This is really funny. I love the images of you taking flight. How fast do you swim and run? Those blobs can be very deadly at times. I bet you left lots of footprints of the sands of time trying to escape. Great job! Joseph Login to Reply
