Jesse Rowe Poet Limerick

Maestro's Mistake

The maestro conducting the bands
Could get none to follow commands.
Though skilled and respected,
Sadly, he'd neglected
That morning to put on his pants.

2.7.20
For Tania Kitchin's Limerick contest
Confirmed syllable count 8-8-6-6-8

Tania Kitchin February 10, 2020 at 2:34 PM Jesse, congratulations on your winning placement with your funny limerick! Jesse Rowe February 11, 2020 at 10:16 PM Thank you, Tania. I've always been a sucker for limericks. I remember they were how I was first introduced to poetry back in elementary school. I've always loved how they were just quick, funny stories.

Carolyn Devonshire February 10, 2020 at 1:38 PM Oooh, wickedly funny! Congratulations on your win, Jesse! Jesse Rowe February 11, 2020 at 10:17 PM Thank you.

Best wishes, Gershon Jesse Rowe February 11, 2020 at 10:25 PM Thanks. Good to be back. I'll probably not be back to my previous level for a bit because my work has been sucking up all my free time.

Lindsay Laurie February 7, 2020 at 6:30 PM G'day Jesse … witty alright. This maestro appears to be either eccentric or a flasher. Thanks Jesse - Lindsay Jesse Rowe February 11, 2020 at 10:27 PM The wonder of poetry is that such distinctions are left to the imagination of the reader.
