Notes About The Poem

For Contest: Valentine's Limerick Sponsor: Tania Kitchin

_____________________

The Skin They're In

Who says that the beasts can’t have valentines
Each of them loves in fur, feathers or spines
Positions may vary
But “the missionary”
Is surely for hedgehogs and porcupines

Thanks, Tom. I actually preferred my first draft but ‘how many syllables’ can’t count. Still, all’s well that end well ;-)

Thanks, David. I’ve had to tweak it because whoever put ‘How many silly balls’ together was either drunk or stupid. Fortunately, I’m a persistent International Poet and got to the bottom of the issue. Terry ;-)
