Beryl Edmonds Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Horseplay

 Two horses talking in a field one day 
One said to the other "let's run away"
"But where would we sleep"
"And what would we eat"
"Under the stars, eat? I just wanna play.

So they galloped off as quick as they could
And in a wood they found a cosy nook
Hitherto, the pair
Launched a love affair
There stood in the wood hooves were stirred and shook.

Consequentially came a little foal 
A most handsome colt to make their world whole
Then came another 
And many other
A herd with no population control.

Gershon Wolf November 1, 2020 at 8:39 PM Can you imagine? No population control! Hmph! What would Malthus say?! lol. Thanks for the chuckle, Belle! :) gw Beryl Edmonds November 2, 2020 at 12:30 AM Gershon, I’m so glad the lims on a string gave you a chuckle, I can’t imagine what Malthus would have to say. Must add that the limericks are just horseplay, that I love and adore horses as much as I love night and day... Belle
