Wendy Watson Poet Limerick

The Sinking Sausage

Bill's snowman was missing a snout
For carrots in shops had run out.
A sausage sufficed
But as it de-iced
Its purpose was cast into doubt!

John Watt January 9, 2021 at 11:39 PM Hilarious limerick, Wendy, with just the right touch of innuendo. As always, your rhythm is spot on. Congrats on your win with Tania. All the best in 2021, my friend ~ John Wendy Watson January 10, 2021 at 12:34 PM Lovely to hear from you again, John. I can only 'do' silly or clever wordplay with this poetic form and it was the former which won this time! All the best to you and the family as well for the year ahead.

Josefina Costales January 9, 2021 at 4:23 PM The title intrigued me - never thought it could be a snowman limerick. Never wrote one but this is a funny take on winter snow. Congrats, this deserves the win. Wendy Watson January 10, 2021 at 12:29 PM Nice to hear from you,Josefina and what a pretty name! I hoped that the title would help readers to get the picture!

David Walker December 31, 2020 at 4:40 AM LOL,, really! I laughed out loud at this one Wendy. Sounds like your snowman might have needed that "little blue pill" LOL Wendy Watson December 31, 2020 at 6:47 AM I've changed it slightly since you wrote this comment,David. The idea in my mind was that of the facial sausage replacement gradually sinking down lower as the snowman melted away giving rise to ambiguity. I'm glad that it raised a smile and thanks so much for the comment.

Rico Leffanta December 30, 2020 at 10:35 AM I did wonder about the origination of "a chip off the old block" ....Aloha! Rico Wendy Watson December 30, 2020 at 11:01 AM Always original in your comments, Rico! Thank you for taking the time to give feedback.
