Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

What a Week

On Monday I wore my new shoes
Out walking I stepped in dog-doos
It covered each shoe -
They’re no longer blue
Just mottled with brown smelly hues!

On Tuesday I went to the shops
To purchase some lovely lamb chops
But when I got there
All the shelves were bare ...
Bad weather and our ferry stops!

On Wednesday I slept in quite late
Got delayed to meet my blind date
I arrived at the pub
He looked like a grub
I’ll bypass this ugly primate

On Thursday I went for a meal
Its location wasn’t ideal
This pub ‘Happy Brewer’
Next door to a sewer
My disgust I couldn’t conceal!

On Friday I’d too much to drink
I threw up in my kitchen sink
Oh how my head aches
And I’ve got the shakes
On drinking I’ll have a re-think!

TOTAL FICTION - HAVE A LOVELY WEEKEND SOUPERS ***

Al Juman August 21, 2018 at 1:25 PM Nice----I think Monday's are always dreary and the rest of the week follows it pattern. basically only Saturdays' is the only day I want to see in my calendar Jan Allison August 21, 2018 at 1:45 PM I love every day I wake up in the morning and it makes me appreciate how good life is - my hubbies cancer was a real wake up call to us both:-) hugs Jan xx

Lindsay Laurie July 2, 2018 at 9:16 PM G'day Jan … I'll bet your team gets a hiding on Saturday and on Sunday your inundated with storms. On the bright side, the following week can't get any worse - thanks Jan - Lindsay Jan Allison July 3, 2018 at 1:43 PM I don't follow the sport Lindsay in fact it was another souper in the US that told me England were still in the world cup lol:-) hugs Jan xx

I am SPENT (was making up for three days absence and I've GOTTA write some poems!!!) Jan Allison June 30, 2018 at 6:14 PM been so busy spending time with son, have a wonderful weekend:-) hugs jan xx

Lyric Man June 29, 2018 at 3:25 PM At least no one publicly accused you of causing their dear beloved sister to commit suicide.. I might rather step in poo ;) Jan Allison June 29, 2018 at 5:30 PM Better than being in the poop LM - I saw the poem on poem Hunter - it is disgusting she slandered you - the main thing is she has 'died' so she can;t come back to soup... or will she be re incarnated - just stay strong, you saw from the poem the overwhelming support you have all she needs is pity and psychiatric help:-( hugs jan xx
