Notes About The Poem

Inspired by the contest about limerick

Old Mcdonald

Old McDonald

Old McDonald sold all his farms 
for tending pets had lost his charms 
He found a new job 
He thought it was fab 
But a whole day clown with raised arms

Leonora, when I read the last line, I pictured one of those guys that goes outside the fast food place dressed up as Mcdonald and waving a sign over his head to get people to stop and eat there. Did I get that right in your last line? A cute idea! Congrats in my contest, sweetie.

;))))))) that can also be right my dearest friend Andrea. When I wrote this poem. I thought of McDonald Restaurant with the statue clown raised his arms, others have even the M signs on the head using their arms :)))) Thank u ever so much for loving my poems and my placement! Biggest hugs! More blessings! Happy weekend to u & your family!

This is fantastic, such a grandiose write my friend! I truly loved reading this awesome poem here this morning! What a delightful piece Leonora! I'm sorry I haven't been on lately! I've been having internet problems, that is why I haven't been on! They even told me that I will be without internet soon again before it will be fixed, so that is why I'm trying to get to everybody before I'm out again! But that is why I haven't been on lately!

Len Gasun

March 22, 2014 at 4:49 AM

Thank u so much again my dear friend Russell for your precious time stopping by my poem & your very inspiring comments. I'm so sorry to hear about your internet problems but I hope it'll b fixed soon. Again, thank u so much. Biggest hugs!
