Paul Callus Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Out To Please

There was a top chef called McRoth
Who made a delicious fish broth,
And to please Mrs Jones
Who had phobia of bones
He sieved it through layers of cloth!

John Michaels November 7, 2018 at 12:18 PM Great limerick, Paul. Not a fan of fish bones, myself so I'd need to sieve it, too!! Congrats on your win. Regards, John. Paul Callus November 7, 2018 at 1:24 PM Thank you, John. Fish bones can be tricky to deal with, so it's best to be safe than sorry:) Regards // paul

Eileen Manassian May 8, 2018 at 4:56 PM Great limerick, my dear. I don't have much to say about a fish broth as you know I'm vegetarian.... ;) Paul Callus May 12, 2018 at 7:29 AM Thank you, Eileen. I'm not really a meat eater as I believe that meat is not a healthy option, but I love fish and vegetables. Hugs // paul

Maria Williams May 6, 2018 at 7:59 AM My son has a phobia of fish bones, good tip from Chef McRoth, think I'll give it a try. Great limerick Paul, and congratulations on your placement....Maria hugs Paul Callus May 6, 2018 at 2:09 PM It is wise to be careful of fish bones, Maria; what might be funny in the poem could turn out to be fatal.
