David Bose Poet Limerick

The Value of Work Nursery Rhyme

Young Lenny at school would dream through each day,
He never read books, he just liked to play,
So it wasn't a quirk
That he didn't learn work:
All play was leading his future astray.

Grown Lenny farewelled his sweet mom and dad,
He packed up and left the one home he had.
But it wasn't a quirk
That he couldn't find work:
All play had left Lenny skill-less and sad.

Sara Kendrick December 4, 2022 at 2:53 AM Ho!! Ho!! Ho!! I know the perfect place for Lenny to get a job and the position. He would do really well working for Santa as a toy tester. Way to go with this winner. Congratulations. Sara David Bose December 5, 2022 at 5:18 AM Thanks, Sara. Maybe giving Lenny a toy-tester job will be inspiration for another limerick ... thanks, Dave

Heidi Sands November 29, 2022 at 12:38 PM Well written. He needs some balance :) David Bose November 29, 2022 at 1:40 PM Thank you. Don't we all need some balance? Maybe it's autobiographical ...
