Belated Limerick Day

@DeahWA from The Girlfriend mentioned that yesterday was Limerick Day. Thought it would be fun for the folks at Our Front Porch to post a favorite limerick, or create your own. Here's what I wrote: be kind, I know it's a little dorky, maybe even "cheesy."

Eat pizza for breakfast cold,

crease it for lunch on a fold.

For dinner if you desire,

what would be proper attire?

Pizza in pajamas, I'm sold.

So, you just have to follow and AA BB A rhyming theme. Would love to see if we have any poets in our midst. Christine

@Rhymesometimes I am not a limerist but I felt I needed to make a contribution to this topic!

We’re off to see the wizard…

"The incredible Wizard of Oz / Retired from his business because / Due to up-to-date science / To most of his clients / He wasn’t the Wizard he was."

Three cheers for good sport DaveMcK,

for sharing your rhyming today.

Classic movie reference no less,

if honest, I must confess.

Your porch is a fun place to play.

@DaveMcK Thank you for sharing your wordsmithing, very clever. A natural limerist. Christine

I am a male who delivered the mail

Always on time without fail

In rain, sleet, or snow,

the mail had to go

or my bosses would get up my tail!

Couldn't resist @postman29 . This limericking, ( yes, I just make it a verb) is a bit addicting and I've put a few more out on the forums. Christine
