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.
