Theme Park Incident - Bawdy

Young Bill and Sue rode the Demon from hell Lots of screaming with laughter and a yell An upside down turn Made Bills stomach churn The ride ended and Sue screamed what's that smell ? Avoid these rides if you have a weak heart A sombre warning and that's just the start And wear nothing white Or clothing that's bright Your emissions may be more than a fart. Written 12 August 2019. For a limerick old or new poetry contest. Sponsored by Andrea Dietrich.

this one is humorous!! I only wanted one limerick instead of a set. Otherwise, you would have scored higher, my friend. Congrats in my contest.

This is so funny Tom, a great limerick, haha... I have to say that I am a complete whimp as far as fairground rides go, so I never go near them. Good luck in Andrea's contest. With kindest thoughts Ann xx ps thanks so much for commenting on Elizabeth's sweet and unepected tribute Tom, it was so lovely of her and brought tears to my eyes. Thankfully she seems to be slowly healing

Love this limerick Tom. Our son Ricky was violently sick one day when we went to the Luna Park on the Whip, everyone was showered! He was 7 at the time! Great write Tom. Had to catch up, missed reading your poems. Sold our house and are looking to downsize but not easy after living 4 decades in a huge house! Blessings Jennifer

Thanks Jennifer, sorry about your son, motion sickness can get you, my wife has to take sea sickness tablets if we go on a boat. I remember once we hadn't even left the port but that's another story lol. Tom.

Bawdy like a Limerick tends to be..anyone whose stomach churns shouldn't be on a roller coaster..good advice in the end..expertly crafted, Tom.
