Summer Dessert


Drowsy on a warm summer noon,
we taste mango ice cream in June
chewing jelly I sneeze
startled, your cup spills cheese
bathed in dessert, a live cartoon.

Aditi, mango icecream is everybody's favourite on a summer afternoon. Enjoyed your limerick with a clever twist in the end- bathed in dessert a live cartoon. Congratulations for your placement in my contest. Best. Mohan

I have never had mango ice cream, but it sounds delish! Fun rhyme with sneeze/cheese, this is a sweet entry for the contest!

You should definitely try it once in summer. It is delicious and keep the cheese away when you have it. It doesn't taste good after that :D Thank you for your kind words of appreciation Michelle :)

A delicate limerick; you do not see that every day, but I am glad that I saw it today.

Such a fun rendering of a funny episode. Bathed in dessert paints quite a picture. I bet you had a good laugh! By the way, I do love mango ice cream, had some just last week. Many blessings, my friend ~ John

Oh that's so sweet to know. My husband loves it too and he had a similar experience as the one mentioned above. We always have a good laugh at that memory. Thank you for your blessings dear friend :)
