Verse – limerick for fall

When I see a mouse in a room,
I know it will soon meet its doom.
I’m quite a big guy,
But I don’t even try,
I just scream for my wife with a broom!

A Beautiful Woman

Mary Magdalene

Mary Magdalene

“Not a Limerick”

A beautiful woman named Honey
Told jokes with a countenance sunny.
The punch lines were bold,
and the jokes were well told,
but since not about sex were not funny.

NOTE: Views from the Edge added Mary Magdalene to the post.

limerick

There once was an Illinois poet
Who had few publications to show it.
The editors read,
But then they all said
Your verses are always inchoate.
