Andrea Dietrich Poet Limerick

To Sail Seven Seas

The first water bed Sammy sees

he says he is going to seize.

He believes on this bed,

when he lays down his head,

in dreams he will sail seven seas!

Sara Kendrick March 26, 2016 at 7:13 AM Enjoyed reading this one today..My mother-in-law said the first time she saw the ocean, "Now that is a large body of water"..The reason behind that was that they always said about a lake where they lived growing, "Now that is a large body of water"..Except they actually called that small lake a mill pond..Sara

Charlotte Puddifoot March 25, 2016 at 4:44 PM lol good one, andrea! the limerick form is ideal for wordplay...i think this stands a better chance than mine, i just saw his update about wanting humorous ones! ah well...

Bl Devnath March 25, 2016 at 12:51 PM Ha ha ha.......in dream it may happen but after waking up surely he will feel loneliness. Much loved your limerick. Wish you good luck my lovely friend, bl
