Carolyn Devonshire Poet Limerick

Well, I Declare

Why, yes, that’s a picture of me there
You cannot believe I was once fair
     Just look at your belly
     It bounces like jelly
It seems you’re now ready to compare

At least I have hair you can envy
That wig you are sporting’s not trendy
     And I still have my teeth
     You lost yours craving sweets
Behind your dentures is breath deadly
	
So you are surprised I can fight back
Rebuttals you’ll find that I don’t lack
    And speaking of “buttals”
    Your caboose just shuttles
When you bend, you reveal a huge crack

If you’ll keep your comments to yourself
You may find that I’ll behave myself
     But mocking me won’t work     
     So wipe off that wry smirk
Or I’ll hide your booze on a back shelf
