Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Mischief

I’m straying away from the norm

It’s stressing me out to conform

A fave form I must adjust -

The last line’s bitten the dust!



Sweet Nina is causing mischief

I’m sobbing, she’s causing me grief

Limerick’s are divine -

This one’s missing a line!



My chosen form now has mutated

It’s modern, the old ones outdated

Will my new form catch on

Now the last line has gone!




I’ve invented the ‘slimerick’ it’s a traditional limerick form but with the final line missing!
