Semi - Biographical Limerick

Semi - Biographical Limerick 

There sat an old guy on the stoop
Who considered his poetry poop
He tossed it aside
Then attempted to hide
Now here he is writing on Soup



Inspired by Tim Smith’s Limerick, “The Hot Mom and The Pool Boy”
and a “poopy” comment Jan Allison left on one of mine. : )  

Semi = I don’t really have a stoop. : )

Cool poem, Chris. No stoop for you, eh. Just sitting on the can, writing poetry that should line a litter pan. Did I get your semi-bio right, my man. Lol! Your limerick had me rolling. Good chicken soup for the soul, I suppose. Love the poem, my friend. Love and peace to you.

You just came here on the soup/ Thinking you are king of poop/ Work harder for that/ Eat more and get fat/ Then challenge the poop poets group.: )

Hi Chris, I really enjoyed your semi biographical limerick. One question is there anything you can't write? Style or form? Your pen is top notch:-) Alexis
