Diane Locksley Poet Limerick

Platypus Takes Shelter

A platypus is living down under
He has a great fear of loud thunder

  When it rains, he takes shelter
  Makes a quick helter-skelter

Beneath a croc' he eyes lightning with wonder


Entry for Deborah Guzzi's limerick contest

Carolyn Devonshire January 20, 2011 at 2:39 PM Hah! He's afraid of thunder so he finds shelter underneath a crocodile? Poor platypus doesn't have much of a life expectancy I'm afraid. Made me laugh out loud! Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
