Limerick Contest:

Smelly Tom: There was an old man called Tom, No one knew where he was from, Every time he bent down, He would sit with a frown, For he always dropped a bomb. ~~~~~~~~~ About Poetry: There is something I simply must say, About poetry writing this day, It is alive and well, Everybody can tell, And it leaves one feeling oh so gay. ~~~~~~~~~ Drake the Duck: There once was a duck called Drake, Who thought he owned the whole lake, He splashed all about, And quacked with a shout, Attention he could not make. ~~~~~~~~~ The Hawk and the Cat: The hawk and the pussy cat, One flew while the other sat, Then the hawk flew down, Feathers all around, Tasting better than a rat.
27~April~2017 For Limerick contest Sponsored by: Jan Allison.

Clever set of limericks - stringing four together puts us to shame ;). My favourite is the "Duck" one!! Best of luck in the contest.
