Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Ouch - Little White Lies

My hubby just fell out of bed
He banged his elbow and his head
Now I can hear groaning
Expletives and moaning
I’m certain that he isn’t dead!

Only the first line is true – last night we watched a programme on how easily people lie but on this occasion I would call this poetic licence
