Timothy Hicks Poet Limerick

Obese Mackian

There once was a man from Mac,
who was loving, but oh so fat.
When he ate so much,
he fell off his crutch,
he found that his food didn't love back!



NOTE: This was actually the first limerick I ever wrote. Not a favorite, but I still enjoy it... I like how with the limerick I have a great excuse to come up with complete non-sense. Like a fictional town named Mac who's inhabitants are called "Mackians".

Funom Makama November 21, 2013 at 7:54 AM Splendid and adequate for a sound mind. This gave me more light to my soul and has stimulated a self- expression from me, serving as the fuel to my outburst.

Cecilia Macfarlane June 23, 2013 at 8:00 PM Limericks are supposed to be silly, witty and funny and you delivered! Great job. Read my 'Birds -n- Bees" limerick, was 2nd one I wrote and sadly never judged. Hugs
