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

Great! With a wave of his wand, he could not command, because his trousers were resting on land! Congrats:)

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.

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.

G'day Jesse … witty alright. This maestro appears to be either eccentric or a flasher. Thanks Jesse - Lindsay

The wonder of poetry is that such distinctions are left to the imagination of the reader.
