Notes About The Poem

24 August 2023

Contest: Funny and Fruity Limerick Sponsor: Tania Kitchin

Quite a Handful

I bought loads of fruit with my chums
But I was all fingers and thumbs
I went all shades of red
When I dropped some and said
Hey lady, would you grab my plums?

Thanks, Jan. For me right now, it could only be plums. Reference my comment on your plum poem and my reply to Ilene (below) and you’ll see why. Terry

Thanks, Ilene. I’ve gathered two wheelbarrowfuls of plums from my plum tree today. Mostly for the bonfire because every year the wasps stick their little baby wasps inside them… yuk. So for this contest… it just had to be plums!
