Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Loyalty, Thou art a Frog

     A loyal being is my pet frog
     More reliable than any dog
       For a car a dog will chase
       Maybe even win the race
     While my trusty frog stays in his bog

sara Etgen-Baker July 23, 2025 at 3:38 PM now this is funny. I imaginea pet frog is pretty low maintenancre when compared to a pet dog Gershon Wolf July 23, 2025 at 6:51 PM Very low maintenance. Flip the lily pad once every other month, even if not necessary. ~ Ho Tel Staff

Terry Flood July 23, 2025 at 2:33 AM Can you please reassure me that he stays put out of loyalty… and not because you’ve eaten his legs? What a fun write GW. Thoroughly enjoyed. Terry Gershon Wolf July 23, 2025 at 6:49 PM Frog legs? Me? I stick to very close veins. Ta, gw

Suzette Richards July 23, 2025 at 12:07 AM I love the pun on "bog" - only the British will get that (I think). :) But you being from the good old US of A, I will take it literally ... still good. Suzette Richards July 24, 2025 at 10:39 PM "bog" means "toilet" in Yorkshire ...;) That is why I giggled ... Limericks thrive on idiom, puns and innuendo :) Gershon Wolf July 23, 2025 at 6:48 PM You are right, Suzette. I have no clue how 'bog' acts as a pun in Britain. Oh, well...
