Notes About The Poem

Apologies to the Limerick pros, humorous poetry is not a strongpoint of mine. Actually, humor itself is not really a strongpoint of mine lol.

 

 

In the Pocket

In the Pocket


For years Nana begged for a holiday 
But pop's only passion was Faraday
He failed to do the math
Created a psychopath
She smirked, "Give my regards to Hemingway."





(Pocket: Some surfers call this the energy zone and it can be identified as the steepest point in the wave.)

Not only a surfing granny but a psychopath to boot. Give that gal an axe. A grin disguised as a limerick, F.J. Terry
