Lim'Rik Flats Poet Limerick

Living On the Edge of Excitement

Once a habitual fellow
(who eats his oats from a bowl colored yellow)
(every day)
(it’s his way)
(He thinks of himself, “very mellow”)

while reading his poetry stew
(the words of fine folks he knew)
got all fired
up. Inspired!
and ate his oats from a bowl colored blue

Daniel Turner January 28, 2017 at 10:51 AM The excitement of changing his bowl, somehow he lost all control, instead of a spoon, he used a harpoon, and skewered a kaiser roll Lim'Rik Flats March 24, 2017 at 9:00 AM Hi Daniel.
