Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Limer Ricos

Rico writes about the truth
He is a limerick sleuth
He is no dummy
Wise and extremely funny
Cos he is long in the tooth.

Ricardo known as Rico,
His limericks are so slick
He scribes away
Writing limericks every day
He's sharp and oh so quicko.

I think Rico is an old man
Happiness is his life plan
Every day on poetry soup
He writes another scoop
Without ever getting a ban.

Rico the admired
When he gets aspired
He makes a dash
For his pen, in a flash
His mind and pen required.

Rico Leffanta July 31, 2022 at 7:11 PM Quite long in the tooth, but forsooth, I outlived most of my critics, so I get the last laugh! I hope to keep you laughing! Mahalo nui loa! Aloha! Shirley Hawkins August 1, 2022 at 3:33 AM I don't know how you write many Limericks on many subjects. ( you must be an older man to have gained so much knowledge ) I have learned a lot from people like yourself on PS, and I thank you. Take care, Rico, Shirley ( The old duck )

L Milton Hankins July 31, 2022 at 8:39 AM Shirley, a fine tribute to a poet we all enjoy here on the Soup. I hope he reads it. I enjoyed it so much. Shirley Hawkins August 1, 2022 at 3:43 AM Thank you, Milt; I am so glad you enjoyed it. Rico deserved the praise, in my opinion, as do many others on the soup. I think it is good therapy for us all; however, we try to express ourselves, a bonus all around. I'd like to thank you too Milt, for the encouragement you have given me.

Gershon Wolf July 31, 2022 at 8:14 AM Rico and company appreciate your tribute, Shirley. Shirley Hawkins August 1, 2022 at 3:47 AM Thank you, Gershon. Would you please read my reply to Milt, as my comment and thanks apply to you too. Take care. Shirley
