Faye Gibson Poet Limerick

Honeymoon Vacation

Just a honeymoon beach vacation,
a fine nuptial love celebration;
   we arrived a night early,
   we would find hotel surely:
“No rooms” was the sad proclamation.

“An hour away you might find one.”
They were right for we only found…NONE!!
  We got off beaten path.
  too tired then to laugh,
looked for a place “mom and pop” run.

Well, it must have been close to midnight,
exhausted the lady and her knight;
  we found Motel Warwick,
  a guest house illicit,
and christened our honeymoon site.

Carolyn Devonshire July 26, 2014 at 11:59 AM Dear Faye, Your poem gave me a great laugh! The "Warwick" motel? Glad I didn't go there for my honeymoon. Syllable count was a bit off, but the poem was too funny not to place. Congrats on your win and thanks for participating in the contest. Love, Carolyn Faye Gibson July 26, 2014 at 7:57 PM Thank you, Carolyn. Yes, the Warwick Motel...we dubbed it Warwick Castle. Thanks for your generous placement of my poem; I have not written many limericks and need to work on that form more. Hope your vacation was lovely.
