Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

GOTTA LOVE THAT SHOTGUN!!!!

 

Hillbillies Silly Wedding

Ten hillbillies came over the hill
Each one of them answered to Bill
To name them all Billy
Would be rather silly
Not one of them responds to Will

Their fiancés all share the name Sue
Mass confusion, causes such a to do
They'd arranged a joint wedding
To the alter they’re heading
Ten hillbillies had not thought it through

Their intentions were very well meant
One invitation covered the event
The whole town was invited
And they were delighted
To witness nuptials in a huge tent

The excitement it grew and grew
As each Bill married his Sue
They all walked down the aisle
Echo pair with a huge smile
singing Abba's I do I do I do

Lyric Man May 15, 2018 at 12:17 PM Jan, It's hard to beat a good old fashioned hillbilly wedding.. your playful write captures the essence well. And I'm a big Abba fan to boot! Jan Allison May 15, 2018 at 12:24 PM Thanks Chance I am sure you could write a beautiful love song for the hillibillies wedding:-) hugs jan xx

Andrea Dietrich May 10, 2018 at 6:26 PM This is FANTASTIC , Jan. Gosh dang!! It's a winner with me anyway. It's very clever, sweetie! I don't know how this one ever got past me. Jan Allison May 10, 2018 at 6:31 PM I didn't mention bybillies or blowbillies so guess that's the reason it didn't place, but it wasn't in the rules we had to use them and as they were made up words but I'm happy the poem has veen so well received:-) hugs Jan xx

CayCay Godwin April 18, 2018 at 9:02 PM I'm reading this with brother, Billy and we both enjoyed this. He called it 'cute' and not one word about his name in your limerick. Truly a great limerick in perfect Jan-style. This is a winner with no need of a contest. Make sure it gets in the book. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Andrea Dietrich May 10, 2018 at 6:26 PM yes, Caycay is right. This one in the book as well! Jan Allison April 19, 2018 at 4:14 AM oh I'm so glad you and your brother enjoyed my silly rhyme:-) poetry hugs to you all:-) hugs jan xx

Carolyn Devonshire April 16, 2018 at 5:26 PM :) Delightfully upbeat and humorous, Jan. I was wondering what type of poems Caren was seeking. Perhaps this is it! Best wishes in her contest. Hugs, Carolyn Jan Allison April 16, 2018 at 5:29 PM I think the title for the contest is confusing people and I had to mail to discover two of the words are made up ( I thought they may be local words as i couldn't find them on google) I hope Caren likes my take on the contest idea:-) hugs Jan xx

Pandita Sietesantos April 16, 2018 at 10:52 AM This one really had me laughing! A true-to-character piece with so much wit and creativity! What an enjoyable read! Hugs and best wishes. Pandita Jan Allison April 16, 2018 at 10:58 AM Thanks so much Pandita:-) hugs Jan xx

Pat Adams April 15, 2018 at 2:13 PM Much more than confusing contest title. I'm not at all sure what was expected but never the less, you've got a masterpiece here. Really funny Jan, and I've always loved ABBA!!! Jan Allison April 15, 2018 at 2:18 PM The title confused me but I found out that two of the words are made up so I just went with the one that did make sense to me:-) Abba music is timeless:-) hugs jan xx
