Robert Gorelick Poet Limerick

Happily Wed

He blows his fortune on poker and rummy
She lives by the fridge where life is so yummy
With vows long ago said
They're now happily wed
He to his gambling and she to her tummy
                                               

Are this couple truly happily wed  
Is the wife happy because she’s well fed  
His poker and rummy 
Is not at all funny  
Something tells me that the romance is dead
                                                __Belle Bellevue

Marikate Kingston January 26, 2023 at 7:27 PM This poem made me think of the nursery rhyme, Jack Sprat could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean (a little bit) This Jack though, should stay home for his wife's chocolate cake that would be yummy and better than rummy. I like this clever poem. :0) Robert Gorelick January 31, 2023 at 5:23 PM I think I'll play it safe and not offer them any advice--I found this to be a smart thing to do! Discretion is a better part of valor. Glad you like it, Robert

Valsa George January 18, 2023 at 3:38 AM So funny ! I wish to meet this couple and ask if they are really happy. They may not be happy together, but could be happy in heir own individual way. Well done Robert. Robert Gorelick January 18, 2023 at 4:31 PM He knew marriage would be a gamble and she was never fed up! Thank you, Robert

Nancy Kaufman January 1, 2023 at 3:42 AM thanks for the good laugh. This was a great limerick Robert and very true to so many long term marriages sadly. Happy New Year 2023.. Robert Gorelick January 2, 2023 at 8:48 AM In my observations, it's happier than a lot of long-term marriages. Glad it gave you a laugh! Happy, healthy and enriching new year!

Mystic Rose Rose December 26, 2022 at 6:24 PM hmm that would definitely kill it for me, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year dear Robert Robert Gorelick December 27, 2022 at 5:16 PM I wouldn't bet on this marriage! Food for thought, lol. Happy Holidays, Mystic Rose Rose, thank you for the visit! Robert

Tom Cunningham December 22, 2022 at 7:24 AM Lol what will she eat when the money runs out. Tom Robert Gorelick December 26, 2022 at 4:53 PM Dried yams like me! Lol

Anselmo Boles December 20, 2022 at 7:02 PM Funny. I guess, "out of sight out of mind", love in limbo turned blind! Hmmm, I'm going to check what's in the fridge!...ab Robert Gorelick December 21, 2022 at 1:36 PM If I laugh at any mortal thing 'tis that I may not weep--Lord Byron. That goes for goofy marriages too! Robert

Gershon Wolf December 20, 2022 at 6:49 PM Sounds like you might want to light a match to this happily wedded couple... Robert Gorelick December 21, 2022 at 1:33 PM Do I hear a little jealousy in your words? Lol

I Am Anaya December 20, 2022 at 5:58 PM Lol. This totally reminds me of a poet friend who was in Vegas a few weeks back with his wife, I read he lost everything on roulette, I just hope they are still together! Fingers crossed. Robert Gorelick December 21, 2022 at 1:34 PM What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, particularly your money! Lol

Kim Rodrigues December 20, 2022 at 5:55 PM Well done, limerick. A marriage of angst and food. Robert Gorelick December 21, 2022 at 1:32 PM A marriage of mutual convenience I suppose. Thank you, Kim.
