Prey For a Day

At dawn I ran from a bear in the park At noon time I swam from a great white shark A vulture gnawed on my head Thinking me tasty and dead Now my pug's chewing my toes in the dark 11/5/22 Fourth Place A Funny Limerick - Make Me Laugh Poetry Contest Sponsor: Tania Kitchin

Very amusing Robert, I hope the vulture didn’t gnaw too much of your head when it fed…. All the best for Tania’s contest…Belle
