An attempt at a limerick.

[Saskia]

Hi All,

My mind was racing round in bed last night (I tried to catch it but wasn't quick enough!) and because I have been so impressed by Sandra's poems and other little verses which other clever members have posted, I challenged myself to come up with something.

Here goes....

There was once a Government Minister,

Whose thoughts were exceedingly sinister.

He said "Benefits we'll cut,

That'll get them out of their rut

And with any luck it'll finish 'em!"

I had some other ideas but have forgotten them now...lol...

Hope you are all having a reasonable day.

Love and hugs

You need a little fishing net by the side of your bed .. So far this week I have caught a stomach bug and a cold....

Well done VG!

I think I'll treat myself to a little fishing net!

Mind you I don't think much of your catch...an old boot would've been better.

I hope you are beginning to recover from the bug and the cold. With Fibro. these things can take ages to work their way through our systems can't they?

Take care.

Old trout ..... Boots are so,last year

I like that Saskia, and thanks for the compliment

[Saskia in reply to hamble99b]

You are welcome. I love your poems. You are very talented. Did you learn how to write poetry or is it just a gift? I obviously haven't got a gift for it but I do love reading poems and limericks. I am not too bad at writing prose and would love to write a book but wouldn't know where to start!

Anyway, I really don't have the energy!

Glad you registered with The Ralph Site and I hope it helps you. There is a lovely animated clip of Rainbow Bridge (where all our beloved pets go!) with lovely music. It had me in floods of tears when I first lost my old cat but it was quite cathartic. Do watch it if you haven't already.

S'all for now, Sandra.

Love and hugs

just something I've always done, but they just seem to start themselves, I just feel I want to write something.

have you visited our poetry corner? there some very good poems on there. You should add your limerick.

An Indian Prince from Lahore

Wrote rude words on the lavatory door.

They were quickly cleaned off

But that elegant toff

Went straight back and put up some more!

Nothing to do with fibro , but maybe a chuckle!

Love it, Moffy!

I do like funny limericks (even rude ones dare I say!)

Thanks for sharing that one!

A dignified trout named VG

Once visited my house for tea

She said"Goodness Sakes!"

"I never eat cakes!"

"Please get some fish-food for me!"

[Hidden]

A wise volunteer named moffy

Lost her false teeth in some toffee

To her shame and disgrace

They got stuck to her face

And had to be melted off with hot coffee

Revenge !!!!

VG x

[ladymoth]

Heehee! That's me told!

I like the idea of the toffee - will remember to take my teeth out first!
