Notes About The Poem

For Joseph May's Palindrome limerick contest

 

Hannah

'Hannah' thought she was a baby blue 'tit',
would 'toot' at dawn searching for a titbit.
Sounded more like a 'tut tut,'
so her 'mama' smacked her but.
Now she goes baa baa, like a 'ewe' misfit.


'Hannah' bought a small 'racecar' for her 'mum,'
but her 'mama' had a very big tum.
At first it was 'wow' and 'yay,'
but then' tut tut' and no way!
Trapped her 'boob', when seat got stuck to her bum.

I sang along. I have a terrible voice but I enjoyed the rhymes and flow. Haha. Great one Silent, as always. I have never found my way around Limerick though.

Loving Hannah by the day, blue tit or not. I'm sure she knew her mum would get stuck, singing to herself. Tum, boob, and bum, that's my stupid mum.

SO, very impressive and cute creation. It's not easy when there are extra demands. It takes one heck of an imagination and a lot of brain power to do this. I am in awe.

A limerick that is inventive and enjoyable. The usage of palindromes in this context is remarkable. This piece of writing is somewhat apart from your typical style, as it showcases your humorous side. Good luck with this contest!
