Sue's livid with Mackie Avellen He's ditched her for her bestie Ellen I pity poor Sue Not sure what she'll do As her pregnant belly's now swellen Now Mackie is nasty cad He’s denying that he is the dad A paternity test Will put Sue’s mind at rest His denial made Sue boiling mad Sue's happier now without Mackie Ellen never will please him, she's wacky She'll raise their l'il boy He'll be her pride and joy Mackie's proven to be just a lackey

lol thanks John I'm usually writing humourous limericks but this one was just based on word play of Machiavellian and is sad on so many levels:-) hugs jan xx

I greatly appreciate this limerick concerning the enigmatic Mr. Avellen. The use of intricate rhyming patterns enhances its appeal.

Mackie Avellen sounds like a villain. That cad is bad and needs a smack!!

I created the name Mackie Avellen as i thought it was perfect for the scenario in the poem as someone Machiavellian is sneaky, cunning, and lacking a moral code :-) hugs Jan xx

A very delightful and interesting story to read in a limerick form. I was quite carried away by the boiling anger of Sue for this irresponsible man. I think my blood pressure went up too but after a while, I've managed to give lots of smile for the strength of Sue and this well-crafted and outstanding limerick of yours. You're an amazing and very talented poet ever my dear poet friend Jan. I immensely enjoyed your limerick Thanks a lot for sharing. God bless you always. Hugs
