Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

She's a Chocoholic

Posh candy - Annie is no Scrooge
Her chocolates are flown in from Bruges
She got wedged in her chair
I believe she’s still there
No wonder, her fanny’s so huge!

Bruges is very famous for making amazing chocolates 
when we lived in the UK we went on several coach journeys there!

Bruges is one syllable when its pronounced it sounds like Brooj

Andrea Dietrich December 28, 2018 at 7:07 PM Love this one, Jan. And I adore chocolates. I actually knew that city name's pronounciation from the movie with its title! Jan Allison December 28, 2018 at 7:09 PM Thanks Andrea I am sure many would think it didn't rhyme hence the reason i put an explanation of how to say it :-) No more trips to Bruges for us, can't risk the temptation of all that choc lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Carolyn Devonshire December 28, 2018 at 4:30 PM :) She sounds as finicky about her chocolate as my sister is. No Hershey kisses for her. If I tell her about the Bruges chocolates, maybe her fanny will get wide too. Enjoyed your funny limerick, Jan! Hugs, Carolyn Jan Allison December 28, 2018 at 4:43 PM lol Carolyn. Bruges is an absolutely picturesque place to visit and the chocolates are out of this world. I try not to buy too many chocolates now as hubby is diabetic. :-) hugs Jan xx

M. L. Kiser December 28, 2018 at 2:15 PM I love any kind of chocolate; this Limerick had me in stitches. I could almost see her but, then Bruges chocolates are no doubt, worth it. Jan Allison December 28, 2018 at 2:34 PM We used to go on coach trips there and come back laden with chocolate. I especially loved the choc cherry liquers and chocolates that were shaped like chocolates:-) hugs Jan xx
