Hi Jan, Happy St Patty's Day. I love your limerick. It made me smile, and Armand's interpretation is funny, too. Now of course, I say he should flaunt it, but after getting the intellectual analysis, I understand...lol.

Hello Jan. Allow me to say this entry was the smile for the night. Thank you for that. I have attempted several times to write a limerick entry but I keep failing. I just can't seem to get the voice tone and flow right. But I'll keep trying. You obviously have mastered its essence and flow. The theme and words are truly playful. Well done

...continued...'It swelled to a great size' of course this refers to Satanasim. How it grew worldwide. 'One he couldn't disguise' As we know though the movement tried to hide in the basements of churches they were discovered and many who had committed heinous crimes were prosecuted. 'So he hid by a meadow lily' or as we all know her Lily Meadow the female angel whose heart was so huge she defended Hades. Wow! And then you say your poetry is not intellectual.

Armand, you analyse my poems brilliantly and the secret messages contained within:-) hugs Jan xx

You're writing is not intellectual? What are you talking about? In this poem 'A nudist' obviously represents the devil. Naked out in the sun you end up with a red hide. Around all those naked people you get horny hence the devils horns. If you record the name 'Billy' and play it backwards it sounds like lucifer. 'Stung by a bee' clearly points to the angels as bees like angels have wings. They are the good fighting the bad hence the sting. ...continued...

What the heck he is talking about????? I bet Billy was a handsome guy with a good looking willy that liked lily. What is wrong with that? That is my interpretation.

Jan Allison

Oh, my gosh that is slap your knee funny, Jan. I out loud love it. Needed something funny, saw your name and ran here. Your limerick dose was even more therapeutic than I'd hoped for, what a funny one - love the wit! Hugs ... CayCay

Jan Allison
Date: 3/9/2017 2:08:00 PM

I may not write intellectual poems Caycay, but at least they are read and understood and seem to be popular - and best of all they make people smile:-) hugs Jan xx

Jan, sometimes I try so hard to write and wonder whether it is any good - and then I read one of your little funny poems and realize that the most important thing is to have FUN with it and to PLAY with the words. Seeing you quite obviously having a blast reminds me what writing should be all about for me. To heck with "serious" and "great" poetry- let's just play! Thank you for that reminder.

Jan Allison

When I first started writing and posting here my simple style was criticised by someone so much that I nearly gave up writing. There is room on soup for every type of poetry from serious intellectual poems to simple fun poems like many of mine are. I have learned so so much not only about poetry but about myself but my aim is to make people smile and forget their troubles for a while:-)and Agnes ... you write awesome poems my friend:-) hugs jan xx

Agnes Krampe

Date: 3/8/2017 5:37:00 PM

You have me laughing out loud, Jan. I knew where this was going when I got to "Billy" :) Ouch indeed (I assume)

Jan Allison
Date: 3/8/2017 5:38:00 PM

if you see Rodger or Billy you know what to expect lol... then again I may surprise you and not do a naughty poem lol:-) hugs Jan xx

It hurt so bad he couldn't think...swollen, enlarged, some shade of pink...no where to run...burnt by the sun...oh how he craved a real strong drink

Agnes Krampe
Date: 3/8/2017 5:37:00 PM

Love Tim's reply, too. We should make this one of your collaborations... or maybe not.

Jan Allison
Date: 3/8/2017 5:02:00 PM

ha ha ha great reply Tim :-) I'd thought about him rubbing himself with dock leaves or applying cream .... but then thought better of it lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Chris Green

Date: 3/8/2017 4:20:00 PM

Ha, why did he hide it, I thought he would be proud of it. He'd certainly be all the talk around the nudist camp. :) Funny Jan, too funny.

Jan Allison
Date: 3/8/2017 4:25:00 PM

ha ha ha - i hadn't thought of that lol :-) hugs jan xx
