Notes About The Poem

Just a fun poem.. Not about anyone on Soup.. Thought of it whilst at work..

 

 

Notorious Poet

There once was a man who wrote poetry,
but his words caused bad notoriety.
Poems full of bad grammar,
Souper's thought he's a spammer!
But he was struggling with sobriety!

Dearest Silent One, I always love a great Limerick and yours exceeded that in humour and somewhat reality for some. Your poetry always shines! - Blessings, Daniel

Hahaha. Love this one. We once had a vulgar poet here years ago who was very mean and who wrote terrible poetry, but in his case, drink was not to blame!!

Hey, Edgar Allan Poe wrote some of his best stuff "under the influence". I hope you wrote this "whilst" on break, S O.

Okay!! There once was a poem about poets being ones to hit the sauce, drugs and suffer from depression. I would like to find a copy of that one again. Thanks for sharing these thoughts with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

Really funny, sir. Do we have anyone like that here? I could never fault anything you write as it is thought provoking and touching.

A comical limerick my friend. So well done. But I would be surprised to see anything else from your pen. I know that I'm often asked if I'm drunk or just stupid. Nice Limerick Silent One.

Some write their best poetry when somewhat inebriated, some say, but having an allergy to alcohol I'd be reluctant to test out the theory. Great limerick though S1...Hugs

Oh wow, a brilliant limerick this is, really didn't expect to read one from you, but you really do many forms and genres of poetry so well..Very inspiring indeed! Those rhymes which you've given are absolutely amazing..This one has quite a vivid dimension in its emotions.. That last line "But he was struggling with sobriety" Ah, makes one think deep! "Souper's thought he's a spammer" That's a nice element here. A creative write and quite a different one from you, today. Keep writing and shining

Ah dear silent one, didnt expect to read a limerick from you today, but looks like you were in the mood for limericks, i dont always understand jokes, As you know unless they are really … lol anyway this made me sad, struggling with sobriety is a serious problem. You do rhyme very well as always. And unique too. Sometimes we need to see the underlying issue of certain things. And I also loved poetry notoriety and sobriety! Clever and creative! Very well written limerick.
