Notes About The Poem

For Joseph May's Palindrome Limerick Poetry Contest

__________________________________________________________

When I Tattled on Ana

An undisciplined terrible tot,
Ana did awful things quite a lot.
Uncle Bob she did kick.
I told Dad. With a stick,
a good spanking my sis at last got!

Cute one. I can imagine that would be very gratifying for a sibling. I had a brother at home who was 25 years older than me, really old enough to be my father so I did not have anyone to tattle on. LOL..Thanks for sharing this one with us. I am guessing for a contest. Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Andrea, I hope this didn't happen for real. Corporal punishment always disturbs me. The limerick is great!!

Oh no. Just fiction. It's so hard to come up with an original funny limerick!

Dear Andrea, What a delightful twist of humor and linguistic skill. The playful narrative of Ana's mischievous antics, encapsulated within the constraints of a palindrome, showcases your creativity and mastery of form. Your ability to infuse humor into poetry while maintaining its structural integrity is truly commendable. Andrea, this is such a whimsical gem that brings joy to the reader's heart. - Blessings, Daniel
