Tammy Reams Poet Limerick

Thank You Einstein

A wrinkle upon my face
                              make up I apply with haste
                              A board in place of my bra
                              forget going to the spa 
                              dry frizzy hair what a waste.


                    Einstein Quote: "I never think of the future.
                                            It comes soon enough."
             5th Place   T Reams

Maurice Rigoler April 27, 2015 at 8:15 PM I love limericks or poems about Einstein. I'm a little perplexed about the third line: "A board in lace of my bra"? Thanks so much for stopping to read my humorous nonsense. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M Tammy Reams May 4, 2015 at 7:27 PM Thanks Maurice. It's all about age and us women know what I mean.

Emile Pinet April 22, 2015 at 5:02 PM The reader is being pulled along by a poetic current of humorous images and thoughts. Emile. Tammy Reams April 22, 2015 at 7:25 PM Thank you Emile for the nice comment. This is for all the older ladies out there. Including me.

Richard Lamoureux April 22, 2015 at 8:04 AM Ha ha and also great quote! Tammy Reams April 22, 2015 at 8:09 AM Thank you Richard. It was fun writing this one.

Carrie Richards April 20, 2015 at 3:23 PM I'm cracking up......"a board in place of my bra"........ I love your sense of humor!! (Do you have any extra boards I can borrow?) !!!! Ps......a big thank you, Tammy for my placement in the Bio contest!!! So honored !! Tammy Reams April 20, 2015 at 8:08 PM Thank you Carrie. You know how it is with age. Without the board they would be to my knees. Ply board works the best it's nice and then just watch out splinters!
