Terry Flood Poet Limerick

Unwanted Gifts

Unwanted Gifts


She checked out the biggest gift first
Saw what was inside when it burst
Two seven foot blokes
Telling God-awful jokes
But that wasn’t even the worst...

A very small piano musician
Adopted a seated position
My ear-drums are ringing
At least he ain’t singing
As he starts yet another rendition

I think Santa speed-read our list
Or maybe some items got missed
My good wife, Beatrix
Got a big pair of twits
And I got an eighteen inch pianist

Lindsay Laurie November 30, 2018 at 6:37 PM G'day Terry … enjoyed your play on words Mate. So, what do you intend to do with these gifts - good luck Terry - Lindsay Terry Flood November 30, 2018 at 6:47 PM Perhaps I should have called it un-needed, hmm hmm. This was meant to be for the Christmas limerick contest but I feared it might lower the tone a tad too much. Besides, it had one too many verses.
