Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

The Truth Hurts

He’s adept at not mincing his words
Venom flows like enormous great turds
On his throne he will sit
Vitriol he will spit
Packs a punch in the heart of us birds

Some may know a man just like this
Words like fists - he slams us a kiss
He is cruel; he is curt
Using speech that could hurt
His sharp words you cannot dismiss

Can’t control what flows out from his mush
To the point - he won’t beat round the bush
There’s no compromise
No little white lies
Tells you straight that you’ve got a huge tush!

Maurice Rigoler June 24, 2016 at 1:03 PM You did it again! A good limerick with great rhymes. I grew up French, so I got to eat and like much of what I was served on the plate. To this day, I love liver (calves and chicken), pickled lamb tongues (with ketchup, yum yum), chicken hearts, head cheese (made from pigs lard flavored with bits of savory pork), and many other goodies. Hope you're not vomiting, Jan. / M Best to you in the contest. / M Jan Allison June 24, 2016 at 1:09 PM ha ha ha Maurice - I love liver but the rest of your 'delicacies' you can enjoy to yourself - hmmm currently there is a food poem contest ... on second thoughts you are best not to contemplate entering lol:-) hugs Jan xx
