Debbie Guzzi Poet Limerick

Fat Acrobats

A fat acrobat from Detroit
lost his grip for he wasn't adroit
he fell with a plop
his partner on top
which really was quite an exploit!

Yes, Tubby made quite a fine matress
Ringling Brothers asked for his address
he made his career
plopped on his derriere
It seems he had started a fad.. YES! 

Soon crowds lined the seats of the rink
wondering if Tubby would stink
he finished the task
in spite of some gas 
Now Tubby is dressing in mink.

Terry O'Leary April 30, 2012 at 4:44 AM Very nice limericks... Yes I can see that you really enjoy limericks... The one about the 'frock' is probably not publishable on PS... what a pity... Actually, I was a tiny bit worried about the censor with mine (and thanks for commenting!)... Terry
