A Camry gets to sixty in eight,
So I don’t know why so many hate!
I ride like a king,
I don’t spin, I just swing,
And I’m never stranded or late.

That was utterly delightful—-thank you! I feel like I’ve hit the Lucky Limerick Lottery with two special limericks in two days. Your frog limerick made me toad-ally hoppy! :-) I am very grateful to you and Mr. Poet.
Beth

Said the frog, “You’re quite a mean bloke!”
Said the wasp, “you chowed down
on all my friends, and so now,
this lily pad’s mine when you croak!”

Now the picture has to do with wordplay!

That’s the point of poetry–we all have different ways of expressing our world. My own poetry centers on sound–and alliteration can be a part of that. Love the limericks, so light & fun!

Congrats on the word play – and on having thoughtful, caring readers. Special!

I love when you get playful with words, Beth; it always puts a smile on my face. How sweet that someone wrote a limerick just for you :)

YOU DO…. I love it… I have no talent in that area –and although I love to write, I am rather WORDY!!!!! Oh Well—I’ll leave the special words and limericks to talented people like you… congrats…
Hugs,
Betsy

I love the fluttery fluidity of your flea-fly-flue-flee-flew-flaw limerick, which is new to me. I should try to memorize it, though memorizing worked better when I was younger. I’m not sure you can teach an old brain a new limerick……

A flea and a fly in a flue
Were imprisoned so what could they do?
Said the fly, “Let us flee!”
Said the flea, “Let us fly!”
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
