Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Evie's Cookin Da Books

When Evie wrote her first cook book
Her neighbour, Val, oh how she shook
What she found on page nine
Was HER steak in red wine
She declared sneaky Evie a crook
 
It caused such abominable troubles
Especially when Val’s cousin, Bubbles
Found HER trout recipe
On page seventy three
Evie's reputation is in rubbles


For Evie her goose is now cooked
‘Fowl’ actions can’t be overlooked
Recipes not by her
Sure has caused quite a stir
Her deception it now has been booked

Thanks to Lin Lane for her comment on the poem which inspired the final stanza ... and before anyone asks ... I DID ask permission to use her thoughts lol!


Inspired after reading an article on recipes being plagiarised

Quoth Theraven April 4, 2020 at 12:38 AM Jan, I thought that book had a familiar casserole. This Limerick had a familiar Evie taste. May I lick the spoon? -Richard Jan Allison April 5, 2020 at 6:14 AM Thanks Richard:-) hugs Jan xx

Michelle Faulkner April 3, 2020 at 3:52 PM Sneaky Evie commits culinary thievery! (Also love "plagerism for dummies' - first rule. don"t show your book to the one you took) Jan Allison April 3, 2020 at 4:03 PM lol Michelle - can you imagine if this happened for real they would be a real dummy to try and pass of work like that! thanks for dropping by:-) hugs Jan xx

Gershon Wolf April 3, 2020 at 3:16 PM Evie's reputation's cooked! :) gw Jan Allison April 3, 2020 at 3:27 PM ha ha ha it sure is:-) hugs Jan xx

Rico Leffanta April 3, 2020 at 1:29 PM Clever! Clever! Clever! Mahalo for the laughs! People must be looking for that recipe book, "How to fool Family & Friends"? Aloha! Rico (captcha is DEB for You Taunt?) Jan Allison April 3, 2020 at 2:27 PM ha ha ha perhaps we should do a soup recipe book and post our fave recipes to inspire others to try new things - although sourcing ingredients may well prove problematic though:-) hugs Jan xx

Lin Lane April 3, 2020 at 9:11 AM Evie's goose is cooked. I don't think she needs to steal a recipe for that! Your limericks are always appreciated, Jan. My validate code is HAH!

Mark Koplin April 3, 2020 at 9:10 AM Plagiarism is quite silly. It makes the natives quite dilly. Great poem Jan! Jan Allison April 3, 2020 at 9:46 AM Love the rhyming comment Mark:-) hugs Jan xx

Tom Cunningham April 3, 2020 at 8:23 AM Brilliant Jan, seems plagiarism is not just on poetry websites. Tom Jan Allison April 3, 2020 at 9:46 AM I sent a friend a recipe that I had been given years ago and had amended it to suit my own needs then wondered about plagiarism. Its quite a minefield out there> :-( hugs Jan xx
