Jesse Rowe Poet Limerick

Get a Room?

They told me to "Go get a room!"
But how could they even presume
My income suffices;
These real estate prices?
Dear parents, your house is my tomb!

Alison A Smith nee Howarth August 17, 2026 at 3:57 AM Well deserved win in this contest.👏

Pascal Borg August 16, 2026 at 3:00 PM Congratulations on your Trophy Win, Jessie. Well deserved. Sad for youngsters nowadays unable to cut the parental apron strings and become independent.

Margarita Lillico August 15, 2026 at 11:43 AM Hello Jesse, congratulations on the podium win! Your spin on the room with an excellent punch line got my LOL funny bone. The tomb sealed the deal 😊 M. Jesse Rowe August 15, 2026 at 5:44 PM Thank you for the contest and the placement. I'm glad it was so well received. I feel like if I have a writing MO it's trying to take contest prompts for a little unexpected turn. 😀

David Crandall August 14, 2026 at 6:38 PM Haha, good one - I bet a lot of younger folks can relate to this one! Jesse Rowe August 15, 2026 at 5:39 PM A lot of older people too, but the story wouldn't have been as humorous from that point of view. 😂
