Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Peter Pugh

I once knew an old bloke called Peter
Whose body could smell so much sweeter
He stank of stale wee
B O and coffee
T’was worse when he sat by the heater!

His daughter whose name is Anita
Tried hard to help Peter smell sweeter
He bathes twice a day
She gave him some spray
From Peter there is no foul fetor!

Andrea Dietrich April 9, 2017 at 5:44 PM Good for ANITA!! That is a word I'd never rhyme with sweeter, but I take it this is how British pronounce it? Same as sweeter? I sure do love your limericks!!

Lynn Marie April 9, 2017 at 4:32 PM This is exceptionally clever :-) The words are not easy to rhyme and you didn't miss a beat. I only know this as I am still learning and notice degree of difficulty and seamless flow with very witty content. You just make it 'look' easy Jan.:) Very nicely done.xxx Jan Allison April 9, 2017 at 4:40 PM aww thanks Lynn I struggled with the final line but when I found the meaning of fetor it was perfect for the poem:-) I just love the limerick form its in my genes as my aunt and uncle both wrote funny poems especially limericks:-) hugs jan xx
