Carolyn Devonshire Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Pot Luck

A leprechaun’s pot held no gold

Just vaccine of value untold

He peddled injections

Stopped Covid infections

But still has no shot for a cold

Susan Ashley March 24, 2021 at 7:40 PM A fun, fabulous and timely limerick, Carolyn, and so true too. Cleverly expressed with the stroke of your nimble pen. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Harry Horsman March 8, 2021 at 8:20 PM Wow, A poem for today, and one to put a smile on one's face. Great Limerick Carolyn.

Judy Ball March 8, 2021 at 11:19 AM Oh I do like this one. So true too. We can even cure some cancrs but still no cure for the common cold but lots of vitamin C and bed rest. Great job hr. God Bless, JB Carolyn Devonshire March 9, 2021 at 9:47 AM Yes, at least we have treatments for the common cold. Last night on TV, one doctor said a med had been discovered to CURE Covid 19 -- not a vaccine, but a cure. If true, that would be substantial progress. Thanks for reading!

Michelle Faulkner March 6, 2021 at 11:10 AM I love this, a vaccine is worth many pots of gold, deft and cleverly put, hope it brings home a win for you~

Gershon Wolf February 27, 2021 at 6:07 PM Ain't it the truth. He needs to come up with a 5-leaf clover or something. :) gw

Sara Kendrick February 27, 2021 at 3:36 AM Good one. Reads like a good contender for the contest. The best way to avoid a cold is stay home. LOL..Most don't want to do that. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Jennifer Proxenos February 26, 2021 at 11:01 AM Lindsay hit the nail on the head and you very correctly had the answer to which no solution will ever be found, not in the interest of GP's and the Medical personnel. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Kai Michael Neumann February 26, 2021 at 3:30 AM Nice one. Kind wishes, Kai

Lindsay Laurie February 25, 2021 at 4:07 PM Hello Carolyn … strange that Carolyn, but there’s plenty of snake oil on shelves that claim they can. Well done Carolyn; a very pertinent question - Lindsay Carolyn Devonshire February 26, 2021 at 8:16 AM I think manufacturers make so much money selling cold remedies that they will never allow a cure to be found. Thanks for reading!

Richard Lamoureux February 25, 2021 at 3:05 PM A cute one. ;0)

Robert Pettit February 25, 2021 at 2:24 PM If the leprechaun has a vaccine, I hope it's an effective one.

Rico Leffanta February 25, 2021 at 10:53 AM They drink Guinness instead? Good one for 2021! Aloha! Rico Carolyn Devonshire February 25, 2021 at 12:37 PM You're so funny, Rico!!

Ilene Bauer February 25, 2021 at 10:21 AM a perfect pandemic poem, carolyn! excellent job - best of luck in the contest... Carolyn Devonshire February 25, 2021 at 12:01 PM Thanks, Ilene. Access to the vaccine seems to be improving here. Hope you are able to get the shot when your turn comes up.

Anne-Lise Andresen February 25, 2021 at 2:34 AM - Covid vaccine is more important than gold, in these days, Carolyn :) - Best wishes in the contest :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Carolyn Devonshire February 25, 2021 at 12:03 PM I hear reports of people stealing vaccines. Two young ladies donned gray wigs and tried to get the vaccine before it was their turn. Obviously, they got caught. Hope you can get your shot soon!

Quoth Theraven February 24, 2021 at 8:31 PM Carolyn, This Limerick is catching, the leprechaun's treasure fetching. -Richard

Judy Ball February 24, 2021 at 5:20 PM Love this Carolyn. Too cute. Made me smile in it's irony. We can come up with cures for many things. Even some cancers yet the common cold still has us stumped. Excellent, God Bless, JB Carolyn Devonshire February 25, 2021 at 9:12 AM Thank you for getting the irony, Judy! Hugs, Carolyn

Andrea Dietrich February 24, 2021 at 4:48 PM WEll, I can say this, the rhyme and meter are spot on!! WEll done, Carolyn. Carolyn Devonshire February 25, 2021 at 12:38 PM Yes, I know how you feel about vaccines...

Beryl Edmonds February 24, 2021 at 4:07 PM A marvellous Limerick for the times and Saint Patrick’s Day... Belle

Tom Cunningham February 24, 2021 at 2:31 PM Lol good one Carolyn, the poteen could be the answer, good luck in the contest. Tom Carolyn Devonshire February 25, 2021 at 12:41 PM Some people I know actually do drink booze when they're under the weather. Thanks for the visit, Tom! Alexis Y. February 24, 2021 at 2:50 PM

Vijay Pandit February 24, 2021 at 2:05 PM I would say, kudos to the leprechaun. Not a minor accomplishment--he stopped Covid! LOL!! Great ending line, Carolyn.

Alexis Y. February 24, 2021 at 1:47 PM Lol! Carolyn, What a bummer! I enjoyed the read. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great day:-) Alexis Carolyn Devonshire February 24, 2021 at 1:51 PM Maybe one day science will get serious about finding a shot to prevent colds. Thanks for reading! Hugs, Carolyn
