James Fraser Poet Limerick

From Mouse To Spouse

Through the window I looked one day
At a poor lassie in troubled display
She stood high on a chair
In such a terrified stare
Shouting "Oh! please, please go away"

I needed to view this even more
Running round I looked in the door
So afraid in her house
Of a little door-mouse
Sweat was running from her pores

So being the gentleman that I am
To get this damsel out of this jam
I said "Hey! furry dude
Please don't be so rude
For your scaring this poor little madam"

So I gently picked up the door-mouse
And kindly removed from her house
Her tears turned to joy
Throwing her arms round this boy
Not long after, she became my spouse

Eamon Duffin January 14, 2011 at 3:49 AM Hello James. Thanks for your comment and my placement in the contest judged by Carolyn and yourself. I am truly honoured. I did not want to write about Ireland as I can get quite carried away. Scotland and Ireland seem to have similar outlooks on life so I have read a bit of their history. You have opened my eyes with this Limerick. never knew that you could make a story by having more than 1. Well written. I will have a try at this format. Thanks again and to you, peace. eamon

Robert Pettit January 9, 2011 at 6:12 PM James, these four limericks collectively convey a delightful little story. One question: In the third line of the third verse, did you really want to write "furry"(a lot of fur) instead of "fury"?

Andrea Dietrich January 9, 2011 at 5:57 PM this is really really cute, James. Great limericks from you! Luv, Andrea

Robert A. Dufresne January 9, 2011 at 3:32 PM zat fro real JAMES? haha good one. Love these limericks. Well done

Carolyn Devonshire January 9, 2011 at 1:58 PM LOL This is sooo cute, James. Is this really how you met your wife? I heard accounts of my mother and grandmother standing on the kitchen table screaming because they'd seen a mouse. My sister was little then and shut a shelf door, squishing the poor little critter. You did the noble thing in returning it to the wild. Big smiles reading this one, my friend. Love, Carolyn
