The Lizard of Oz

There once was a green lizard of Oz Fought by two ferocious dogs, he was So the tale of woe goes He swallowed them both whole And barking became his dialogue.

Love this dear Belle. I’m still smiling :) now. So funny and the title- one of the best films ever in my opinion. It inspires me to have a go at the limerick poem as every time I read someone’s limerick on here it makes me laugh, smile, giggle which is a wonderful thing, gift, in itself. Keep making us smile. Hugs to you.

This limerick is incredibly witty and wonderfully crafted. The clever use of end rhyme and humorous elements greatly enhance its charm. Well done, Belle!

Wow, that title is priceless, and all of it so creative, is that where 'barking mad' comes from :)

It probably is where “barking mad” comes from Michelle. Thank you for the read and comments… Belle

Cute Limerick, Belle. That's one bad lizard. Wouldn't want to hire him to walk your dog. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill
