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 Date: 4/9/2017 5:44:00 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?

You just make it 'look' easy Jan.:) Very nicely done.xxx Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 4/9/2017 4:40:00 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
