Learner Surfer I am training myself to surfboard Practicing on my ironing board For I'm no loser And the best mover Shall win a trophy surfer award. So I've ironed my best underwear My motto is to always prepare If I have a fall I will not bare all And my assets won't feel whiffs of air. +*+* 18th July 2022 Limerick Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Lisa YY

Ha!!! Ha!!! How cute. I got a good chuckle. I hope that underwear will hold up under all that hot ironing. Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go, lady. Sara

Thank you so much Susan, you’ve shon a light o’er my day, I have my husband in hospital with an infection and I’m so anxious because he’s not fully recovered from the sepsis crisis, we were told it can take up to two years to make a full recovery. Fondest wishes, Belle

Congratulations on your win. A "Creative/Fun" write/story. Maybe you should learn with the ironing board closed. Don't break your neck or anything else. Have a great/blessed day.......................

Good advice Paula it would save a fall practising on an ironing board flat on the floor. Have a great day too, bless you.. Belle

Congratulations, Belle, for earning third place with a limerick that not only is rife with humor and irony but also flows nicely, as is expected of any truly excellent limerick.
