This is a more serious limerick:
The Abandoned Child’s Complaint
by Michael R. Burch
I hoped you might have loved me,
but you pushed me out to sea
like Moses, for some other
strange Egyptian mother:
Isis, Nefertiti.

How I feel about you
makes me proud to be a man
you're my ego's keeper,
a love giver,
my heart's teacher,
a perfect picture
with all your pretty features!
you define what's richer,
the price for what ought to be culture,
truly what my heart is after!
You embody soul
and your speech, seldom foul
like my favorite song,
your melody is softly loud
like a thin cloud,
you're eager to grow
you shelter my blood
and with you is where I want to be found
in your arms I want to be bound
Taken, stirred or ground,
I'll take any form of you I'll find!
Like an exam, your body I'll study
Master all that excites you silly
Be the only man in your party
Infinitely in for eternity!

Nefertiti the bearded queen
Began her royal life at fifteen
Wooed and wed by Pharaoh Akhenaten
Ancient Egypt never was this rich again.
Nefertiti “the beautiful one has come”
Had six daughters, but unfortunately lost one.
She and her husband Pharaoh Akhenaten
Started worshipping only one god – the Sun.
Nefertiti went from Great Royal Wife
Promoted to co-regent without much strife
When her husband Pharaoh Akhenaten died,
It elevated her to rule beside his spiritual side
She was considered equal to a pharaoh now
Her legacy of changing religion is now a wow
Mansion of Benben temple dedicated to her
Visit the tombs, and hear her purr.

My Nefertiti does
not come from the
Dynasty of Pharaoh
Neither does she
possess the golden
Adornment
She may not have the
poise and grace
Of Queen Nefertiti
Never the less she has the
poise and grace
Of the daughters
Of Zion
Ibilate, you are the
Queen of my Kingdom
And You are
My Nefertiti.

I will chase you till death
and never let up.
A love that is destined to grow
everlasting!
A promise I intend to keep,
to never see you weep
because of me!
To be each others strength
and never tear each other down.
I will support you through tribulation,
not only when times are good!
Through frustration I am dedicated
Forever yours!
We will fight,
and times not see eye to eye!
I may leave to cool down
but come back to embrace
and kiss you good night!
I have been through many,
none have touched me like you.
I have tried and failed,
left alone feeling blue!
I can see it when you look at me,
feel it in your touch.
I see in your disposition
that you love me so much.
You are my polar opposite
but our chemistry is sound.
I now know I have found my soul-mate
this love knows no bounds!
