Chris Green Poet Limerick

In a Playground of Mud

In a playground of mud

One time I made friends with a pig
He had the most wonderful gig
In a playground of mud
My new friend went thud
I’ll tell you, that sucker was big

Then one day it seemed he was shaken
I realized that he was mistaken
I said, have no fear
I’d rather have beer
And really don’t care much for bacon

He went back to playing again
Then got on his knees in his pen
He looked to the sky
And let out a sigh
I swear that pig grunted “amen”

CayCay Godwin September 1, 2018 at 3:07 PM You have an imagination as playful as my own, and when it met your wit and creativity, we were gifted with the entertainment in your poem. I love off the wall and irrelevant, too. 2nd Stanza - 1st line - 'he seemed' or 'it seemed?' I just now realized this is for a contest, one you won't find me in, I am limerick-challenged! All the best ... CayCay Chris Green September 3, 2018 at 8:04 AM Thanks so very much CayCay for your kind comments on my poem. That line was from my(the poets) POV.
