Mike Gentile Poet Limerick

Where Once Was My Butt!

I fancied a look in the mirror 
          My horror could not have been clearer
Where once was my butt
         Sits, I don’t know what
                    I dare not now stand any nearer

There’’re so many new lines and creases
                 Dismay at this sight never ceases
Yet, it’s what I see
                  This butt is on me
           At least there are still just two pieces!

Ink Empress March 31, 2024 at 8:04 AM Hah a funny limerick, how time sometimes shows us something we dread looking at as we remember what the mirror showed us many moons ago, that youv captured very well here. Altho i cant resonate yet to this I absolutely love the humor in this and the rhymes. So wel articulated and delivered, changes and what it seems to be. It is what it is. Pleasure reading you after a while

Sara Kendrick March 31, 2024 at 7:32 AM Some changes does come with aging which we can either laugh about or get depressed and I prefer the first one. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us and for dropping by my page with congratulations. May this be a great Easter Sunday for you. Sara K Mike Gentile March 31, 2024 at 7:43 AM Thank you Sara!!
