If You Insist

I ran into the room, said, "Do I smell bacon?",
but couldn't decipher the smirk Jim was making.
"Sure, if that's what you wanna call it!
Hey, why not stuff your gullet?",
and like a true American I was taken.

Paul Callus Date: 10/22/2014 12:26:00 PM Wow! I love your limerick and the smell of bacon. My father used to buy a big rectangular chunk, smoked, and hang it from a hook on the wall. The smell used to fill the whole house! Needless to say, that chunk never lasted long! // paul Login to Reply Timothy Hicks Date: 10/24/2014 10:09:00 AM Bacon never does sadly... bacon never does. Thank you for checking out my older work!

Eileen Manassian Date: 6/17/2013 10:28:00 AM HEE HEE! Good one, Timothy! Hope all is well! :) Being a vegetarian....and NON American...I can still appreciate your gusto! :) Login to Reply Timothy Hicks Date: 6/21/2013 12:02:00 AM Well bacon isn't EVERYTHING... just the only thing that matters (ha ha ha... kidding!). Seriously though I like all kinds of food. They could have been grilling asparagus and I would have been just as elated as the bacon :)

Jack Ellison Date: 6/13/2013 2:37:00 PM Hey bacon is a Canadian thing!!! LOL Great little limerick... good wishes, Jack Login to Reply Timothy Hicks Date: 6/13/2013 11:30:00 PM I was always curious if what we Americans call "Canadian Bacon" is at all the same thing IN Canada? In any case I appreciate you stopping by, as always!
