Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

He Exploded Like a Pressure Cooker

THE IDIOM I MADE UP IS  - HE EXPLODED LIKE A PRESSURE COOKER

My son has returned to our home
He’s mouthy and just loves to moan
Now nothing is right
We constantly fight
He’s like a dog missing its bone!

His wife was once such a good looker
Her red lips she just loved to pucker
After botox and filler 
She looked like a gorilla ...
He exploded like a pressure cooker!

The tension between us is rife
I’m his mum and not his ex wife
But his reaction is mean
Shouting, letting off steam
She left him because of this strife!

Jesse Day August 3, 2016 at 8:33 AM I found your work well written and I enjoyed it for the comedic effect. The idiom is creative and fit the theme of the poem very well. The contest was highly competitive which left out about 10 poems which were worthy of placement – including this one. Thanks for entering the contest and I will check out some more of your creative work! Jan Allison August 3, 2016 at 2:50 PM Thanks for taking the time to comment Jesse it is very much appreciated - I may not have placed in the contest but it inspired me to write 3 poems so with the inspiration from your contest I am still a winner with 3 poems rather than one:-) hugs Jan xx

CayCay Godwin July 30, 2016 at 8:26 PM Would you believe I find your write funny, your idiom clever and your poem full of potential? I do, do, do! Check out my idiom (at least the idiom itself - sort of stands out in title list), I think you'll be happy with me ...

Duke Beaufort July 30, 2016 at 4:41 PM Jeez, I thought it was her lips that exploded from the picture! Anyway, I couldn't decide whether to spell the name as Hilarious which is the adjective. I might have used Hillarious to make it more like a noun/name, but you have to decide for yourself. It's all good my friend. Jan Allison July 31, 2016 at 5:01 AM I used Hillary because of the syllable count for the limerick - have posted it now and credited you with the name:-) thanks again:-) hugs Jan xx
