Natasha L Scragg Poet Limerick

Silver Surfer

I saw an old lady at home
Whose habits bizarre when alone!
She thinks she's abroad
On her ironing board
Surfing tides in a wavey zone.

Her arms and her legs were well spread.
Her curlers tucked neat on her head.
Her pearls sparkled bright,
She squealed with delight,
"Well I can't do this when I'm dead!"

Affectionately dubbed "Silver Surfer"
What a spirit for any to care for!
A tonic indeed
When humour's the need,
And for it the board ain't much worse, awe! 


Written 14th July 2022
For the "Limerick" contest
(For a picture of a lady standing on
 an ironing board, poised like a surfer.)

It was a fun challenge. It's amazing what variety of poems will be inspired by one picture. It's so much fun for the contest setter too. X :-)
