Ticked Off

Josh once had a small tick on his rear
And yelled at it to get out of here
So the pesky runt
Crawled around front
And took a long walk on a short pier

I feel for Josh. That would be not fun at all. I found a tick on me at three different times about a month or two ago. One was the lone star tick. I guess the dog was bringing them inside because I would only go outside a few minutes at a time during the day. Thanks for sharing this one and for dropping by my page. Sara

I loved the last line most! As kids, in the Medieval Century, lol, we would tell obnoxious kids, “ to take another walk, on a short pier!” Quite a visual insult, instead of calling someone a name!! To add, enyoyed this limerick! Pangie
