Sotto Poet Poet Limerick

Knee Replacement

Written: October 8, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Andrea Dietrich
                **********

My knee used to groan in despair,
It squeaked like a mouse in the air.
Now it's titanium,
Feels like uranium—
I moonwalk with orthopedic flair!

Andrea Dietrich November 3, 2025 at 1:13 AM Great limerick-ing here, Sotto. The meter and rhyme are on point and the topic is relatable to so many folks as we grow older. Congrats in my contest.

CayCay Godwin October 10, 2025 at 10:29 AM I often laugh at limericks, but I think my giggles lasted longer on this one than any other. Way to 'limerick'
