Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Footloose

She’s just footloose and fancy free
Doesn’t have a husband like me
She’s lazy and fat
Just like her old cat
I’m pleased she can’t sit on my knee!

I’ve not seen her in over a year
Its her loss - no I won’t shed a tear
Thirty years with no work
A real job she would shirk
She’s made ill-health* her full time career!

Inspired by Fancy Free but not for contest

*For those of you who REALLY know me they will understand the meaning of this poem and its not about someone who is really ill just a fraud.

Tim Smith April 29, 2017 at 12:40 PM It is sad some act that way Jan...we can only distance ourselves and hope they have a change of heart. Jan Allison April 29, 2017 at 1:12 PM It will never happen Tim but I am far better off without them in my life to be honest :-( hugs Jan xx

Akkina Downing April 29, 2017 at 11:08 AM Oh that poor Cat.. Lol! I love it, I think it's cute funny :) Jan Allison April 29, 2017 at 11:38 AM The first part is funny Akkina, the second part is sad but she has to live with it!:-( hugs jan xx

Lin Lane April 29, 2017 at 10:35 AM That poor kitty will be traumatized forever! She sounds like she has a screw loose instead of her feet. She'll get hers in the 'end'...pun intended. What's great about your limericks is that they're always open to puns and sarcasm. Good write, Jan. Jan Allison April 29, 2017 at 10:46 AM Thanks Lin, sadly she will never read the poem - she's actually got 3 cats - i have another poem written but not posted about her lol:-( hugs jan xx
