My Favourite Dish

Big, bad Bubba knew how to dish it out

Without provocation he’d start to shout

     His bedroom “dish” took a hike

     The last time his temper spiked

When she saw steam fuming out his big snout

Robert Pettit Date: 1/8/2012 8:44:00 PM With the name of "Bubba", this reminded me a bit of an old television commercial with James Earl Jones for Bell Telephone's Yellow Pages. This is a fine example of a limerick, Carol. Login to Reply

Daver Austin Date: 1/4/2012 11:51:00 AM Hey! I've known guys like Bubba. They usually have a "dish" who resembles a collie dog in temperament. I am so happy that Bubba's dish offered the large finger. Love this gotcha piece. Love, daver Login to Reply

John Smith Date: 1/3/2012 5:25:00 PM Funny Limerick. Bubba's 'Dish' dashed when he dished it out. He should have tried flatter on a platter. Login to Reply
