Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

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

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

 

Jimmy Riddle

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!"

Miranda Hawley April 8, 2025 at 9:03 PM 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.

Andrea Dietrich March 29, 2025 at 10:24 AM I saw this punchline coming. Great job!

Duke Beaufort March 28, 2025 at 6:53 AM 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!

Hilda Greenhough March 27, 2025 at 4:35 PM This was a very good limerick. It made me laugh. Your imagination has no bounds. I like this style.

Tom Cunningham March 27, 2025 at 11:33 AM 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 Jan Allison March 27, 2025 at 1:00 PM lol Tom, I can smell the stench of the damp pants now lol - maybe he needed khaki shorts in the end lol hugs Jan xx

John Read March 27, 2025 at 10:07 AM 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. Jan Allison March 27, 2025 at 10:16 AM you are a limerick natural John! subliminal message again - publish a book with beryl, publish a book with Beryl! hugs Jan xx

Lin Lane March 26, 2025 at 3:33 PM It certainly is something a kid would say if he was caught in that situation. Jan Allison March 27, 2025 at 10:15 AM 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 Lin Lane March 27, 2025 at 10:00 AM I would never expect anything less from you. ;-) Jan Allison March 26, 2025 at 3:50 PM I needed a giggle today Lin been tough day at work and you know the rest of the story but i plod on regardless lol. hugs jan xx
