Wordless Wednesday

A limerick is a humorous poem of 5 lines. Lines 1,2 & 5 must have 7-10 syllables and rhyme. Lines 3 & 4 must have 5 -7 syllables and also rhyme.
OK, easy enough, and a great opportunity to play with words and have fun. My first exposure to a limerick was reading some of the works of Ogden Nash. From that point on I was hooked. And I haven’t even been to Nantucket!
So, here are 3 of my offerings. The first 2 are recent and number 3 was published in the summer but I think it fits nicely here as a reprise. Enjoy.
This once was a body I knew,
That could dance away on cue.
But now I just totter,
While passing waste water,
Depends, someone said, are for you.
………………………………………..
I’ve heard of those who run in a circle,
Wringing their hands, awaiting a mir’cle.
Dancing near naked, I’m told,
Is scary, and oh so bold.
While waiting for their turn at ur’nal.

I am told of a suitcase from Durbin,
That always enjoyed a good bourbon.
When filled to capacity,
It had the audacity,
To be rather mean and disturbin.

Recently widowed. Losing a breast. Swears a lot.
