Janice Canerdy Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

February 15, 2019, entered in Carolyn Devonshire's March Day Contest placed 2nd

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

 

Wear Green--Or Else

There’s coming a time of great cheer
when folks will drink gallons of beer
   tell tales of wee sprites
   and magical sights.
St. Patrick’s Day soon will be here.

On that day, if you don’t wear green,
just stay in your house. Don’t be seen,
   or else a hard pinch
   might cause you to flinch.
Some pinchers can be downright mean!
