Limerick Fare

The way to cook up a good Limerick
Is to add the right words, then simmer it
But if it begets raunch
That’s unfit for your paunch
Then I wouldn’t touch it for dinner, ick!


         -and for dessert-


My gal loves to make Limerick-sicles
On very hot days to be whimsical
But the more we licked
The hotter it git
And often it’d even get critical.

:) This brought a smile. I often write this form of poetry...I enjoy it. Don't overdose!!! Thanks for your visit to my poem...I Want Someone and the suggestion that it could be used for Marriage Vows. That touched me! :)
