Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Not so funny, honey

It always gives me a kick
To read limericks,
Because sometimes they are funny
This limerick won't be
Cos between you and me,
My eyes and my nose are runny,
I'm feeling off as I have a cough
And also a pain in my tummy.
I am feeling quite ill
And I have no more pills
Because I have run out of money.
I am feeling cold,
Cos I'm very old,
My pantry is bare, with nothing in there
Except for a pot of honey.
But honey is sweet
With every spoonful I eat
My future is starting to look sunny

Lin Lane November 18, 2023 at 7:22 AM Your lines made me smile, Shirley. You should invite Winnie the Pooh over for tea and scones, with lots of honey, of course. I was delightfully entertained by your poem.

Bj Legros Kelley November 18, 2023 at 12:51 AM Oh not so funny when your nose is runny, don't let it drip into that honey! ;) Sorry, I just couldn't resist! Your poem reflects me for the past few days, I too am sick, but your rollicking poem made me smile! I hope you get to feeling better soon. <3

Bill Baker November 17, 2023 at 9:10 PM Thanks for the fun poem to read, Shirley. The realities of aging are sometimes hard to accept, humor is a good way to make the medicine go down. :-) Have a pleasant weekend, my friend. Bill
