Timothy Hicks Poet Limerick

Party Foul

One can write limericks on a dime
All you need is some rhythm and rhyme
A quick li'l jest
Now that's the best
Just make sure your joke arrives on time!

(preferably not passed the fifth line)



NOTE: I was gonna post this for the Limerick Contest, but I wrote it a day too late ... in any case it was fun nonetheless :)

Paul Callus February 26, 2016 at 3:47 AM Tickled by your clever humour, Timothy:) But...you need to work harder on punctuality!:) // paul Timothy Hicks February 27, 2016 at 7:27 PM I wrote a limerick about procrastination once ... it's a pity I never gave it a title (as well that I forgot to tell you about it) ... oh well ... perhaps later ;) Punctuality isn't my strong suit, unfortunately ...
