My Limerick Ding a Ling

There's a lady farmer from Seattle Who doesn't snore but moos aloud as cattle She will only lay On a bed of hay Where sheep can't sleep for her rowdy rattle. *+*+*+* There is a woman that comes from Belgium Who has been blessed with an enormous bum She carries her kids Upon her wide hips And gets her chores done whilst they’re having fun. *+*+*+* There once was a skunk who’s heart was sunk Because someone had told him that he stunk So he bathed in perfume Which got rid of his gloom And started to strut feeling alike a hunk. *+*+*+* Pal Alfie jigged alike a raging fire What's it all about, I had to enquire He said he must hurry He'd made a hot curry And his innards were a furnace afire. Alfie went scurrying off to the loo I followed him to ask what I could do He said "Just hold your nose” “I'm ready to explode" He did and the roof it exploded too. We were both covered in debris and slate And pondered how we could ever escape Then the firemen arrived And we’re staying alive Now for our sakes no more curry he’ll make. *+*+*+* My wish is that a sweet tune I could sing Much joy to my heart it would truly bring I sound alike a goat With a frog in my throat And so I cannot sing my ding a ling. *+*+*+* 4th November 2022

Thank you Anaya, I made a ding-a-ling too. Thank you for the compliment but the Limerick Queen of PoetrySoup is Jan, who is taking a poetry break for the time being. Bless you, Belle -:)

Always a pleasure Belle. Particularly liked your reference to animals! Here's mine; When Mary had a little Lamb the doctor was surprised, but when old McDonald had a farm, the doctor nearly died! BOL Robert
