Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

 

Mackie Avellen Is a Cad

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

Nancy Kaufman July 3, 2023 at 12:50 PM lol Jan, sounds like an Irish limerick to me. Jan Allison July 4, 2023 at 2:08 PM lol thanks Nancy xx

Joanna Daniel July 3, 2023 at 1:45 AM Great story told in limericks, guess Sue is stronger, she should sue him for infidelity:) Jan Allison July 4, 2023 at 2:08 PM thanks Jo:-) hugs Jan xx

John Lawless July 1, 2023 at 12:08 PM THE TITLE ALONE IS WORTHY OF A FAVE. Jan Allison July 1, 2023 at 3:10 PM 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

Sotto Poet July 1, 2023 at 12:01 PM I greatly appreciate this limerick concerning the enigmatic Mr. Avellen. The use of intricate rhyming patterns enhances its appeal. Jan Allison July 1, 2023 at 12:04 PM thanks Sotto it was fun to write but the subject is sad on many levels xx

Lin Lane July 1, 2023 at 4:18 AM Mackie Avellen sounds like a villain. That cad is bad and needs a smack!! Jan Allison July 1, 2023 at 5:37 AM 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

Len Gasun June 30, 2023 at 10:30 PM 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 Jan Allison July 1, 2023 at 5:41 AM Thanks Len I usually write funny limericks but this one sends out a message. hugs Jan xx
