Light Hearted About Kids Poetry Contest Sponsored by Miranda Hawley 03/26/25

Poem taken from my second book 'toilet humour and risque rhyme.

I'm hoping to be teacher's pet By reciting my alphabet My teacher said to me, "Jimmy you missed out P" I'm crying and very upset! My teacher, her name is Miss Clegg Said Jimmy, "Tell me, I won't beg" Where is the missing P I said, "Miss, can't you see It's running down my trouser leg!"

I have heard a similar poem or story in the past somewhere. That poem is excellent because it is funny. Congratulations on your win in my contest.

Jan, this is cute. The funny part is these problems we had as young children come back to haunt us again later in life where in old age we forget to zip it up and in senility we forget to zip it down. Certainly alphabets have a lot to tell us!

This was a very good limerick. It made me laugh. Your imagination has no bounds. I like this style.

Lol, I'm sure they'll find him some dry trousers in the lost property bin. That took me back to primary school when one of the boys had a mishap and came back to class in huge khaki shorts Tom

Poor Jimmy's thinking was in a muddle, and he knew he was heading for trouble, for it was easy to see, where he had a P, for he was standing in a puddle.

It certainly is something a kid would say if he was caught in that situation.

Thanks Lin i love the limerick form it takes me a minute to write one with perfect rhyme and syllable count - I seldom wake with a poem in my head now but I used to in my early days on soup when I learned this form:-) hugs jan xx
