Wendy Watson Poet Limerick

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.

Carolyn Devonshire December 2, 2018 at 11:57 AM 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 Wendy Watson December 2, 2018 at 4:05 PM Thank you for the placement, Carolyn and for the time you have taken to read, judge and give appreciated feedback. Best wishes Wendy
