Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

She Wears Jimmy Phews - Warning Contains Humour

A lady I knew called Griselda
Collected shoes just like Imelda*
But she’d such cheesy feet
When she walked down the street
Folk secretly called her Ismelldya!

*Imelda Marcos owned at least 1200 pairs of shoes



NB

After being on the site for over 7 years people are well aware of my style and love of writing the limerick form. If i write a bawdy limerick it is noted in the title and if folk insinuate my work is pornographic I can only pity them


I will not be deterred by bloggers and will not stop writing limericks or funny poems. I’ll never stop trying to make folk smile and have a laugh and forget their troubles for a while

Linda Alice Fowler January 13, 2021 at 2:29 PM Thank you for cheering me up and making me smile Jan - so clever! Linda

John Watt January 8, 2021 at 2:18 PM I love your humour Jan, it always brings a smile. I wasn't aware of the blog, but I'm sorry you get grief over your talent for bringing a laugh. You even give a warning right in the title! Thanks for continuing to post ~ John

Caren Krutsinger January 7, 2021 at 8:06 PM I remember that lady and her shoes, all that wealth when people were starving. How horrible! Great job! Jan Allison January 8, 2021 at 1:59 PM yeah it was horrendous what she and her hubby did - the money they embezzled ran into many billions:-( hugs jan xx

Kim Rodrigues January 6, 2021 at 8:08 PM In the title: warning contains humor...lol! The picture is a hoot! That child may never don socks! Great poem! Jan Allison January 7, 2021 at 1:26 AM Thanks Kim I guess all my poems should contain a warning lol:-) hugs jan xx

Terry Flood January 6, 2021 at 8:36 AM Love the Limerick, Jan and Here Here for your ‘NB’. Terry. PS... hmmm... is it ‘here here’ or ‘hear hear’ or ‘hear here’... better google that. Jan Allison January 6, 2021 at 3:19 PM thanks Terry:-) the blogger is at it again victimiser turned victim its such pathetic behaviour and saldy we have seen it before. I will never give in to the moronic behaviour:-0 hugs jan xx

Victor Buhagiar January 6, 2021 at 1:29 AM Great to begin the day with some humor. ~~ Jan Allison January 6, 2021 at 4:36 AM I will never be put off from trying to make folk smile.. we are going into lockdown from midnight we now have the virus in the community so have 3 week lockdown to try and stop the spread. We can still go for walks etc, so glad I popped to drop off toiletries for mum in a second visit yesterday as when it was announced 6 cases in 4 different locations it was a no brainer lockdown was going to happen:-) hugs Jan xx

Gershon Wolf January 5, 2021 at 6:31 PM He who smelt it, dealt it!! lol. Good one, Jan! Sweet Feet, Gershon Jan Allison January 6, 2021 at 4:34 AM thanks GW:-) hugs jan xx

Lindsay Laurie January 5, 2021 at 5:09 PM Hello Jan … her toe jam must have been off or she’s stepped on a ‘lawn mine’ (dog doo-doo) - thanks again Jan- Lindsay Jan Allison January 6, 2021 at 4:34 AM lol thanks Lindsay:-) hugs jan xx

Tony Hargreaves January 5, 2021 at 12:26 PM Hi Jan. Cheesy feet. Limericks always are fun. Love the little one sniffing, rejecting and running off. Lovely. Lots of laughs. Tony X Jan Allison January 5, 2021 at 3:05 PM thanks Tony:-) hugs jan xx

Ilene Bauer January 5, 2021 at 12:08 PM jan - this is hilarious! the little video is perfect, too! i didn't know about the issue you had with a blogger but it's really annoying to hear about such idiots. just keep those limericks coming... Jan Allison January 5, 2021 at 3:10 PM My husband would describe this poem as being 'one of my better efforts' lol:-) xx Jan Allison January 5, 2021 at 12:26 PM Yeah a blog was done recently about 'pornographic' poems being posted on soup and it was aimed at me and another poet who got a recent POTD based on a poem I had written about a cucumber. I do write bawdy limericks sometimes but i always state in the title as 'bawdy limerick', but to have it insinuated that I write porno poems beggars belief. Need a smile we now have covid in the community and are on 3 week lockdown but I can hopefully spend more time on the site peddling my porn lol:-) hugs Jan xx

John Lawless January 5, 2021 at 11:27 AM THANKS FOR THE WARNING.....IT DIDN'T WORK AS I ALWAYS CHECK TO SEE IF THE PAINT IS REALLY WET.....GREAT LIMERICK JAN....KEEP EM COMIN' Jan Allison January 5, 2021 at 12:22 PM Thanks John, good job i still have a sense of humour!:-) hugs jan xx

Rico Leffanta January 5, 2021 at 10:56 AM There is fungus among us! We need a fung aside! PoetrySoup prohibits pornography in words, so you are not responsible for what weirdos create in their imagination! Eve turning over a new leaf beggars belief! Aloha! Rico Jan Allison January 5, 2021 at 11:19 AM I am glad the blog is gone Rico, just a pathetic person trying to cause trouble, i heard kermit the frog has been arrested for reading girlie magazines ... the worst case of 'frogs pawn' ever seen. i rest my case lol:-) hugs jan xx sadly we are back under lock down conditions as covid seems to be in the community - we have had 7 months of freedom its a sad day indeed. i was lucky i supected it would happen, saw mum this morning and went back with toiletries and now i can no longer visit until 27th Jan/ so be it:-) hugs Jan xx

Tom Cunningham January 5, 2021 at 10:37 AM Lol, she needs odor eaters, keep em rolling Jan. Tom Jan Allison January 5, 2021 at 11:16 AM lol thanks Tom, rest assured I will never stop trying to raise a smile if idiots try to cause a stink about my perceived 'porn' they should be flushed away and removed :-) hugs jan xx

Mark Koplin January 5, 2021 at 8:59 AM Ismeldya, I just peed a little. Good one!!! Jan Allison January 5, 2021 at 9:09 AM I think it's probably one of my best limericks ... a bit cheesy I guess lol:-) thanks my friend:-) hugs jan xx
