Duke Beaufort Poet Limerick

Save Me Now

Green leprechauns already know
There's zilch at ends of a rainbow 
So to own and hold
Pots of silver and gold   
Is the way to have lots of dough

Author's note: The color of leprechauns is significant here!

Debbie Duncan February 20, 2013 at 12:13 PM good one Duke,,,, though I think if a person has their health, then they do have their treasure ;} So one doesn't need to go in search, even though I would ;}

Lucilla Carrillo February 9, 2013 at 5:18 PM This is very nice Duke. I agree with you. I guess in life - we are worth according to what we have. I'm glad that we are all the same in God's eyes. Lucilla

Andrea Dietrich February 2, 2013 at 1:17 PM cute one, Duke. have you seen one of those little guys ?? heehee Duke Beaufort February 3, 2013 at 3:00 PM They seem to be tough to hold onto.

Anne-Lise Andresen February 2, 2013 at 10:52 AM Must admit that it is not so long since I've learned who leprechauns is, he was a new person for me ...... lol ..... and he is always green (?) - Well done limerick, Duke. - Have a lovely weekend. - oxox // Anne-Lise :) Duke Beaufort February 3, 2013 at 2:59 PM I think my favorite green leprechaun is Franklin, followed by Grant, Jackson, Hamilton, Lincoln and Washington.

Donna Jones February 2, 2013 at 8:34 AM The poem is cute but to own and hold happiness is the way to happiness. Loved it Duke Beaufort February 2, 2013 at 4:00 PM You are absolutely right! Sometimes, you have to be rich just to see that it's true! Money doesn't buy happiness. It's counter-culture in this society to strive for happiness and let the money come later (or not).
