Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

There's No Flies On Me

I got buzzed by a pesky blue bottle
To evade it I started to tottle
I reached for the bug spray
But the fly dodged away
Then dive bombed at my head at full throttle


I purchased a fly swatting racket
So cheap it did not cost a packet
When I hit a fly
One touch and they die
It saves me from having to whack it!

Gail Debole June 3, 2017 at 7:15 PM Hi Jan, Good one! I see you are using more than one stanza, too. - Hugs to you, Gail Jan Allison June 4, 2017 at 3:39 AM I wrote the second stanza first then added the first one to tell a story but I checked the rules and it says one limerick so I wrote another for the contest - I wrote 3 lots of limericks for the contest and kept changing my mind which one to enter lol:-) hugs jan xx
