Beryl Edmonds Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Sham the Leprechaun

Sham the Leprechaun
Sham the leprechaun went to a pub
For some tasty St Patrick's Day grub
Then danced jigs fantastic
Quite enthusiastic 
Did the splits, stuck like it, there's the rub.

The landlord said "Auld Sham's now a crock
And the silly old beggar's in shock"
Sadly, I'm not jokin'
His legs won't be closin'
He can't jig now, but boy, can Sham rock.
For Saint Patrick’s Day 2021
* * *
Add on
 Sham the leprechaun was an acrobat
He did backflips and the splits on a mat
Those days are long gone
Bones aches and so on
While out with friends, he didn't think about that.

Jennifer Proxenos February 27, 2021 at 7:49 AM Poor Leprechaun, he has had his days of jigging but thankfully can still rock - Nice one Belle ! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Beryl Edmonds February 27, 2021 at 8:08 AM Ha, He can rock backwards and forwards, which is better than nothing... Thank you Jennifer ~ Belle

Janice Canerdy February 27, 2021 at 5:54 AM Good job, Belle--descriptive and amusing. Janice Beryl Edmonds February 27, 2021 at 8:10 AM Thank you Janice, I’m pleased you found the Limericks amusing, what more could one ask for ~ Belle

Lindsay Laurie February 25, 2021 at 3:57 PM Hello Belle … sometimes I wonder what is put in green beer to ignite the Irish into a twelve month recovery program before doing it all again - thank you Belle - Lindsay Beryl Edmonds February 25, 2021 at 4:19 PM Hi Lindsay, I’ve no idea what goes into green beer but wouldn’t mind trying some of it :-) Thank you ~ Belle

Carolyn Devonshire February 25, 2021 at 12:11 PM Belle, I twisted my coccyx doing a banana split and the pain was awful for months. I'm just thinking Sham must be in a lot of pain. The "jig's up." Funny poem! If for the St. Patty's Day Limerick Contest, best wishes for a win. Hugs, Carolyn Beryl Edmonds February 25, 2021 at 1:36 PM Hi Carolyn, watched a demonstration of the banana split and am not surprised you got hurt. It’s the same for Sham too. Not going into the contest, only one Limerick allowed and these two belong together. Thank you, hugs ~ Belle
