Timothy Hicks Poet Limerick

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 October 22, 2014 at 12:26 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 Timothy Hicks October 24, 2014 at 10:09 AM Bacon never does sadly... bacon never does. Thank you for checking out my older work!

Eileen Manassian June 17, 2013 at 10:28 AM HEE HEE! Good one, Timothy! Hope all is well! :) Being a vegetarian....and NON American...I can still appreciate your gusto! :) Timothy Hicks June 21, 2013 at 12:02 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 June 13, 2013 at 2:37 PM Hey bacon is a Canadian thing!!! LOL Great little limerick... good wishes, Jack Timothy Hicks June 13, 2013 at 11:30 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!

Poet Tacito June 13, 2013 at 9:22 AM BACON! I love the smell of it, but I can't eat it. Have fun for the both of us. :) Timothy Hicks June 13, 2013 at 11:29 PM Hmm now you have me curious!
