Notes About The Poem

Based on a joke my daughter sent me:

what botox can't fix

A boob who was rather naggy
Said to its mate we're too saggy
Without more support
I'm afraid dear cohort
We're nuts in pants that look baggy

Linda, I am so glad this amused you. My daughter sent me a string of one liners and some two liners, which I converted to his form. Jokes are a lot fun for sure!

Omg so funny! I admire your quick wit and skill at limerick as I can’t write them! Great job Duke!

In the vein of what we noted about your poem...this is not something we look for. We'd rather not see it, but we do all age, and so we must focus on the internal beauty of our associates.

Hahah made me laugh, gosh! So funny! This is brilliant left me in stitches . And those rhymes are excellent too. We live in a plastic world, that choose to believe that botox will fix everything. But theres so many more factors or things that cant be fixed with just botox! Lol i want to take a screenshot of this and send it to my friends; i rarely laugh but yea, this surely did make me laugh! Loved it

IE, I am so happy that you can laugh at this. I sometimes take a serious tone, but have been discovering that it helps to have some humor when composing a limerick. It's just fun to try to come up with these things...really just a little game that I can enjoy. You are very kind, very understanding, very perceptive, and very talented.

Well...it came out crazy. I can't defend it as high class poetry, but it's in the limerick tradition.

A fun read Duke—an insightful exploration of the physical changes that come with aging. Botox is always available to correct imperfections.

SP, this one is going to need more than botox....but they could try. We're lucky we don't have to deal with this particular issue described on the poem.

Anne-Lise, you are so right. It certainly cant’t fix what’s on the inside, which is 99% of most of our issues. This was not my best work, but my daughter asked me too convert some one-line jokes to this form. It’s a puzzle solution for me and a chance for some levity.
