Notes About The Poem

Three Boys


Three boys – Paisley, Preston, and Pooky -
had tried to make Halloween spooky.
Paisley practiced black magic.
Toothless Preston was tragic;
but Pooky, bug-eyed, was just kooky.

Hope they all had fun, great limerick ! I wish more people celebrated Haloween in South Africa - some of our youngsters do only. Blessings dear friend. Jenifer.

Great Limerick Andrea, kooky certainly looks spooky, those eyes and teeth are certainly not a treat… Beryl

Well, that pretty much captures the image in question. One of these days I must use ‘kooky’ in a poem. Gave me a grin, Andrea.

Good one. I got a chuckle out of your names for the boys. You have a wide repertoire of very descriptive names at your disposal so it seems. Sara K
