Janice Canerdy Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

June 28, 2025, entered in Tania Kitchin's Summer Funny Limerick contest

********************************************************************************

Time's Up

           
Mom and Dad dodged the mid-July sun—
in the shaded pool, having such fun.
   Then their three little kids
    started blowing their lids:
”That’s OUR pool. Please go buy yourselves one!”

Andrea Dietrich June 30, 2025 at 11:17 AM It sounds like it was one of those small plastic kiddy pools then. Great humor and limerick meter Janice Canerdy July 1, 2025 at 5:09 PM Yes. Thanks so much, Andrea. I tried find an image that fit, but they all pictured kids in the little pool with the adults. Janice
