Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

I 'Ear' Daniel Turner Has a Birthday Today

A most charming poet named Dan
Writes poems whenever he can
He is sixty today
So I’m writing to say
Happy birthday from your friend Jan 

xxxxxxx

An unfortunate poet named Daniel
His huge ears made him look like a spaniel
They dangled down so low
Past his knees to his toe
The plastic surgeon re-wrote the manual!

The surgeon who was in charge
He had never seen ears so large
With a nip and a tuck
Daniel was in good luck
Dashing home to show his wife Marge

Lynn Marie August 13, 2016 at 9:13 PM You poem is heartfelt and witty..a great tribute to Daniel who I enjoy getting to know through his great poetry and insightful comments. You are an exceptional poet, a wonderful friend, a lovely soul Jan. Your versatility in writing, care and encouragement in inspiring others, your time in sharing your humour and heart, is a gift to all you give selflessly and generously. You epitomize the essence of "the beauty of a woman".I am blessed to be on this "poetry journey" with you..thank you :-) Jan Allison August 13, 2016 at 9:28 PM Lynn you are too kind my friend:-) I have been on an amazing life journey since I started writing and I have learned so much from wonderful people here - without their encouragement I wouldn't have flourished as much as I have done:-) hugs Jan xx
