L Milton Hankins Poet Limerick

Lucille and the Law

Lucille bought herself a three-wheeled trike
Better for her than a two-wheel bike
Her age was catching up
When she had a slip-up
Running over a three-year-old tyke.

Police charged Lucille with manslaughter
With no jail time, thanks to her daughter
Quashing spectacles, 
No more vehicles
And keeping off the police blotter.

Jack Horne July 18, 2022 at 12:13 PM LOL, thanks for a good chuckle L Milton Hankins July 18, 2022 at 12:43 PM You're so welcome, Jack. It's a pleasure knowing you got a chuckle out of the poem.

Caren Krutsinger July 17, 2022 at 10:11 PM Oh my goodness! So hilarious for everyone but the murdered three-year-old. Poor Lucille; she gets to do such horrible things in your limericks! L Milton Hankins July 18, 2022 at 8:42 AM Indeed. She's like a mad hatter, Caren. I hated (and thought about it for a long time) having her run over a three-year-old, but that makes the limerick more believable, doesn't it? Also shows what a person like Lucille can do if they're not careful!

Michael Tor July 17, 2022 at 9:05 PM Poor Lucille and that three year old. Her daughter helped. We will see how long that last Milton... Lol. L Milton Hankins July 18, 2022 at 8:46 AM Yeah, Michael, she's already thinking about a surf board.

Jenna Logan July 17, 2022 at 12:50 PM Oh geeze, Lucille got off easy that time! I'm pretty sure she'll be back and gettin' into mischief again. You've given life vicariously to her. Jenna Logan July 17, 2022 at 1:33 PM Lucille's going to ride the waves again! Tell her to beware the sharks. L Milton Hankins July 17, 2022 at 1:18 PM Oh, I don't know. Now that she's on probation and can't get a hold of any wheels, she may be finished. I hated to kill her off, so I chose the next best way. I'll give you a little hint, though, she's checking out surf boards!
