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! 06~03~17

Slap em and zap em and don't be concerned. Just stay in Australia for what you have learned. About India that is.

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

Haha! Love your limericks. But be aware, in India killing flies is tantamount to man slaughter! / M

Remind me not to visit India or France lol lol:-) I have now written a 3rd limerick which I've put in the contest:-) i didn't know if this one would be suitable as I did a second stanza but I am pleased people seem to find it funny:-) hugs Jan xx
