Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Limericks

The limerick form is so delightful;

   Precise, concise and very insightful

      But finding a way

         For what you would say

            In so few syllables can be frightful!

Lindsay Laurie January 10, 2019 at 4:32 PM G'day Robert … how right you are. Calling a limerick is one thing, but to write a proper limerick is another. Harder than how it looks - a great limerick Robert - Lindsay
