Miss Dating? Not Me! (Limerick)
Miss Dating? Not me!
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Before I was married I dated
Hardly ever, cause dating I hated.
Then I met hubby Mark,
Which created a spark.
Elated, we dated and mated.

short and sweet.
Straight to the point! Loved it!
My husband Mark just read this and suggested 3 alternative last lines. Any preferences among these? Or should I keep my limerick as is?
a) It was fated. Elated, we mated.
b) Was it fated? Elated, we mated.
c) Glad I waited — Elated we mated.
Ah. Hmmm. As is works for me! But then I’m not ‘mark’ed’… :)
I liked it as is
made me smile :)
Thanks, everyone!
Wonderful … the KISS technique works everytime!
Perfect!
Hah! Fabulous!
keep it as is. perhaps he wants to write his own first 4 lines to go with one of those alternative endings?
Thanks so much for all your comments!
Made me chuckle! Thanks!
Oh, I enjoyed this. Clever and chuckle-inducing! Well done.
I like it. I never cared too much for dating. Too many guessing games and mixed drinks. I much prefer being married. Now I can drink all I want and know where I’ll spend the night regardless.
that was so very good…great limerick
Thanks so much everyone!
Cute!
