Nourishing Neighbors

There was a fruit seller named Schaber And she was a peculiar neighbor With kids named Cherry Apple and Blueberry Who were all the fruits of her labor Well sometimes she would drop by And have a weird look in her eye But that made us wary With kids named berry When she offered us homemade pie Then one day moved in butcher Pete Who named his kids after meat Like T-bone and Chuck Porky and Buck So at picnics no one would eat

Schaber and Pete truly love to eat - Enjoying every single flavour - Alike dogs with a bone - When the kids arrive home - There's nothing left for them to savour…… Belle

Hi David An excellent set of limericks in story form. I have a feeling you have written stories too. If not, I hope you consider writing some. Panagiota

Thanks for the kind comments. I have written a bunch of stories, a couple published(kids books) through Amazon self publishing. Am working on publishing more that way. Since I don't write about woke stuff, it's hard to have an actual publisher give you any time.
