Beryl Edmonds Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

What a Charmer

What a Charmer
She was a snake charmer’s daughter
Mother did all the same things before her
Her mom did it best
For she was well blessed 
Her daughter was smaller and shorter.

Yet she's a beautiful performer
Charming all the snakes there before her
Only wears rubies
Upon her boobies
And sequins light up her transformer.

Beneath the stars and moonlight she glows
Dancing with bells on fingers and toes
With ducks and dives
She brings snakes alive
Including those pounding in trunk hose.

Jan Allison May 9, 2022 at 11:56 AM what a fabulous string of limericks Belle, so sorry to read your hubby has been re-admitted to hospital, thinking of you both and hope he makes a speedy recovery:-) hugs Jan xx Beryl Edmonds May 9, 2022 at 6:50 PM Thank you Jan, Alan is doing well and improving steadily I’m so pleased to say, it’s been horrendous to say the least … Hugs, Belle :-) xx

Jennifer Proxenos February 5, 2022 at 9:41 PM Belle I see below your husband is not well I'm so sorry from the depths of my heart, has he ever caught COVID? These doctors today I do t know how they pass their exams or maybe they studied so that could merely use the title of Doctor on their emails and letterheads. They are not as good as the old family doctors we all used to have who knew us well and would even do house calls. Hope he feels better soon. Love and hugs Jennifer Beryl Edmonds May 9, 2022 at 6:46 PM Jennifer, my husband and myself have fortunately not caught Covid up till now. It’s something I dread as Alan has been so ill and is still recovering. I agree with what say about family doctors, but the doctors who looked after Alan in hospital were wonderful, without them he couldn't have survived the sepsis, they brought him back from the brink many times… Love Belle

Jennifer Proxenos February 5, 2022 at 9:31 PM Congratulations on your win with this fantastic poem - like her mother you say, must run in the genes. Hope you are well my friend. Hugs and blessings Jennifer Beryl Edmonds May 9, 2022 at 6:35 PM Thank you Jennifer… Hugs and blessings to you in return… Belle

Paula Goldsmith February 4, 2022 at 8:18 AM Congratulations on your win. A cute/fun write and picture. So sorry about your husband. I have you on my prayer list. Have a blessed day................... Beryl Edmonds May 9, 2022 at 6:33 PM Thank you and bless you Paula… Belle

Jennifer Proxenos January 18, 2022 at 2:21 AM Love your humor Belle, you have a real talent for this, many do not have this gift. I read below that your husband is better, and that has made my day today, Is he back home? A sassy poem, loved it. Hugs and blessings. Jennifer Beryl Edmonds February 4, 2022 at 7:55 AM Hi Jennifer, my husband came home from hospital a week ago and this morning he went back in. The poor man can’t understand why all this has happened to him and neither can I. The report on the discharge sheet reads like a horror story, it’s terribly tragic what he has been through and he’s nowhere near a total recovery. Thank you for your comments on the Limericks. Bless you, hugs Belle

Lindsay Laurie January 12, 2022 at 4:23 PM Hello Belle ... well written set of limericks with plenty of humour to amuse us readers - well done again Belle - Lindsay Beryl Edmonds February 4, 2022 at 7:38 AM Hello Lindsay, I’m pleased you enjoyed the Lims. Thank you very much… Belle

Brian Sambourne January 12, 2022 at 4:11 PM What a wonderfully delightful, enticingly risque poem! Enjoyed following the snake charmer's seduction conveyed in your descriptive lines. Sincerely,Brian (We hope that your dear husband is soon well + fully recovered. Better health wishes to your family.) Beryl Edmonds February 4, 2022 at 7:36 AM Thank you Brian - my husband came home a week ago and had to be readmitted early this morning, seems to be a kidney problem, it’s hard to get any information, that’s how it’s been all along. Best wishes to you and yours, Belle

Bill Baker January 9, 2022 at 7:26 AM Very entertaining poem, Belle. Nice rhyming and a touch of humor to boot. Thanks for sharing, Bill Good luck in the contest my friend. Beryl Edmonds January 9, 2022 at 9:06 AM Thank you Bill, we’re all in need a a little humour now and again. Bless you, Belle

Susan Ashley January 8, 2022 at 11:01 AM Both the lovely poetess and the humorous poem are charmers. A wonderful and clever string of limericks. Belle, I am so glad to hear that your husband is on the road to recovery. Fingers crossed for him to go home sooner rather than later. Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes to you and Alan.. ~Susan Beryl Edmonds January 8, 2022 at 11:22 AM Thank you Susan, I’m so looking forward to having my husband back, to give him some TLC and I’m sure he’ll feel much better at home with me. Best wishes to you too… Belle

Sotto Poet January 6, 2022 at 10:21 AM Belle, The fact that he could be coming home with you and that you're back here is encouraging; I wrote you an SP message on New Year's Eve. I hope everything is good with you; I know it's been a source of concern for you. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts. Beryl Edmonds January 6, 2022 at 11:25 AM Thank you Lasaad, I’ll read your SoupMail now, I haven’t been on site much for obvious reasons. But things are looking up, Alan told me today they’ve started physio to get him walking before he comes home. He will need to have a district nurse come in for a while, but it’ll be great to have him back home with me. Thanks for thinking of us… Belle

Tom Cunningham January 6, 2022 at 1:54 AM Just saw your comment to Victor, Belle, im glad to see that he might soon be home with you. I hope that you are okay, it has been such a worry for you, will keep you both in my prayers. Tom Beryl Edmonds January 6, 2022 at 2:43 AM Thank you Tom, it’s been a dreadful worry, three times I was called in because Alan was critical. I’m so looking forward to having him back home with me to look after him. Prayers appreciated… Belle Tom Cunningham January 6, 2022 at 1:55 AM PS, great lims and good luck

Victor Buhagiar January 6, 2022 at 1:03 AM Even the poem is a charmer. Any news? Hugs. Beryl Edmonds January 6, 2022 at 1:27 AM Alan had to swallow a capsule camera yesterday, waiting to see if they have found the source of the internal bleed. If they have they can stop it. Doctor told me Alan is much improved and should come home soon. He still hasn’t walked in over seven weeks and I imagine we’ll have to have some help when he is home. I’m sure they’ll talk it over with me. I’m starting to feel a little better in myself now that Alan is over the worst. Thank you Victor… Hugs, Belle
