Caren Krutsinger Poet Limerick

Let Me Have a Lollipop

Let me have one Gladys our neighbor said.
Sour apple lollipop made by Ned.
She took a long lick
Effect was so quick
Face swelled up bigger than our queen bed

To our immediate untold surprise
She was so puffed up, it hid her eyes.
We called nine one one
Which halted our fun
Gladys was hospitalized, no big prize.

Joanna Daniel November 25, 2021 at 5:26 AM Poor Gladys! well penned, Caren:) Caren Krutsinger November 26, 2021 at 2:24 PM Thank you Jo. I like limericks, but am never great at the "bawdy" end line.
