Short Freebie Poems

Wanda asked with eyes big and blue
Could it be I needed a screw?
With drinks on the table
I found she was able
To do what she wanted to do....

Fee Bee is the Queen of the Hive
With drones to make her feel alive
She eats royal jelly
To fill up her belly
So the Hive will survive and thrive...

Gotta tell ya bout this fellow named Anthony
Was relaxing on his twentieth floor balcony
A scantily clad sweetie
Cross the way said, “want a freebie?”
Poor Anthony fell twenty floors to his finality

Even in my adversity
Darling! You show compatibility
You are fabulous and comely
How ravishing you are honey!

Limericks inspired by Linda Fowler’s Limerick -  Hindsight

Pot-poetry

We've had many laughs in PoetrySoup
That lift weary hearts when they start to droop

Sup from the soup and enjoy a good whoop. 

Laughters infectious, it flows oversea
Different nations writing poetry
Yet all in one pot
The pot holds a lot
Pot-poetry full of variety.
