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 http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/humour-4.php

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

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"?

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
