Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

John and Jack Have Brought Humour Back

John and Jack are both out to play
Making us giggle every day
When I see them post
I forget my toast
I’d love to meet them one fine day

12th March 2015

Tribute To Jack Ellison and John Wulf who have recently brought a much needed injection of humour with their wonderful banter

Carolyn Devonshire March 14, 2015 at 12:26 PM Dear Jan, I love this limerick! There are some remarkably witty people on the Soup and this is a great tribute to the difference their antics can make in our lives. Love, Carolyn Jan Allison March 14, 2015 at 12:28 PM I love to write with humour when I can and i gravitate to read poems marked humourous first rather than on any other subject - although humour is subjective lol:-) Hugs Jan xx

Kp Nunez March 13, 2015 at 7:47 AM Hey Jan, you think maybe we've unwittingly signed up as the publicists of these two and they haven't given us a penny!!! Love your lim, Hugs! :) Kim Jan Allison March 13, 2015 at 8:00 AM Their friendship and humour is the best payment we can ask for Kim:-) Hugs Jan xx

Demetrios Trifiatis March 13, 2015 at 6:13 AM What a well-deserved Limerick for Jack my friend, John I do not know but I am certain since you write about him he deserves the tribute as much as Jack! Jack, for me, is the Mozart of humorous writing! You gave me an idea so I will write a Limerick myself to honor that dear man! Beautiful writing dear Jan! Jan Allison March 13, 2015 at 7:59 AM Oh I look forward to reading your limerick:-) Hugs Jan xx

Andrea Dietrich March 12, 2015 at 10:49 PM Jan, this is cute. Is that an English expression to forget one's toast. If not, it should be!!!
