Notes About The Poem

What a Weird Beard

Old Ferdie had a bushy beard
when bathing some birds just appeared
two cocks and a hen
a rook and a wren
were nesting, it truly was weird!

Inspired after spotting a man with a HUGE beard

This is really funny Jan. A prime example of what a limerick should be! Funny, the flow (syllables) all spot on! Well done my friend!.........80)

I suspect the beard was to attract attention to the two cocks? Well done, Jan! Aloha! Rico

This had me in giggles Jan! Imagine having a beard so thick and long you don't notice nests and them roosting there. Reminds me a little of when my mom used to wear a bee hive hair style! Lots of poetry wishes, Jennifer.

I lived in Paris when the beehive coif was chic, but pigeons loved to poop on them rather than build a nest . . . .

Haha! I wrote one similar to yours years ago about a rabbit who nested in a man's huge beard. Maybe I'll all it up and post it for comparison. A good year to you, dear Jan and your family. Love your poems./ M

aww thanks Connie, I know poetry is in my genes on my mum's side of the family, it just took hubbies cancer for me to pick up my pen, I am also a Burn's Night Baby so guess I was destined to write one day:-) i just try and make folk smile with my sillies but also write the odd serious poem too:-) hugs jan xx
