Upside Down World - Frigid Wife

There once was a snowman named Jerrit. His wish was to embed his carrot. So he stood on his head; He could have stayed in bed. If his cold wife would grin and bare it. Written 1/1/2018 Contest: Upside Down World (limerick) Hosted by: Eve Roper

If you say to much you might get yourself on a pickle instead of in a pickle. Sorry I couldn't resist. "Bad Rick!" Congrats on your win. This is still one of the best in my humble opinion.

Ha ha, one of my favorites. Perhaps his wife prefers pickles to carrots. Or maybe she’s a peach preferring gal.

Rhoda Tripp
Date: 1/3/2018 11:40:00 AM

Hahahaha. Richard! Lol. Peaches! I could say so much more but I'd hate to get myself in a pickle.

not sure how to comment on this but I do think it is quite unique for a snow man to embed his carrot.

Thanks, Paul. It was a fun contest and I've never erased more in my life trying to write five lines, lol. I'm glad I was able to inject some humor into your day. I've been working on judging the "Five Letter Words" contest...man oh man. Tough call! Now I know why so many people have several first, second and third place winners. Lesson learned, lol.
