Luckless Lass

I searched for a four leaf clover,
                                 On all fours I looked all over.
                                    My knees were in pain, 
                                   Then I gasped in disdain,
                     "Luckless Lass!!" My hand grasped, gift from Rover.

Thank you Jan :D You know your fun poems influenced me to try something new ;) I love funny poems and I find myself too serious, too often. Thank you for inspiring me with your mood lifting fun poetry! I'm glad you liked this...and yes, do you think dogs laugh? I think that sometimes...in their hearts anyway? they do!

G’day BJ … otherwise known down here as ‘lawn mines’. I trust it hasn’t put off from searching for four leaf clovers - nice limerick BJ - Lindsay

I haven't been on all fours crawling across the grass since I grew up (and growing old!) Nowadays we don't have such pretty grass to enjoy since we live in the desert where there isn't much grass to speak of. I'm really out of luck in ever finding a four leaf clover at this point I guess. Grass mines, that is pretty funny! They do cause quite an explosion of horror to grasp hold of...or step on for that matter! Thank you for stopping by and for your comments!
