Life At the Top

My life as a fairy is bleak; I'm sitting aloft on a peak! The room is too airy And altitude's scary. I’ve not had a leak for a week! My bladder is feeling the strain. I’m waving my wand but in vain. The needles are prickly, My derrière's tickly And blinking lights drive me insane. syllable count : 8 8 6 6 8 8 8 6 6 8 30/11/18 edited final version Christmas Limericks (new or old) Poetry Contest : Sponsored by: Carolyn Devonshire

This limerick is so charming, Wendy, and I cracked up reading how she was "waving (her) wand but in vain." Nice rhyme and good form. Competition for this contest was awesome and you did a great job. Thanks for supporting the contest with your witty verse. Hugs, Carolyn

Thank you Tom. 'Derrière' seemed more appropriate and the ex French teacher in me had to include the appropriate accent!
