Limerick Lament
Limerick Lament
By Madeleine Begun Kane
There are times that I feel like a tool,
Complying with each lim’rick rule.
So starting today
I refuse to obey.
Don’t believe me? You’re right. April Fool!
(My 2nd National Poetry Month poem, and it’s still April 1st. Yippee!)

Hehehe. VERY cute!
Ah, you got me. No way the Literary Lioness of the Limerick would abandon the form! vb
Good one! love it!

The tone of your limerick made me drool
What with breaking all the rules
With great dismay
I found it a special day
Sure pulled one over on this old fool.
hohoho! very good!
Thanks so much to all of you for your kind words. And thanks Hansi for your limerick. Oh and Victoria, in answer to your question, sometimes it does feel like I think in limericks. Scary, huh? :)
super witty words.
Thanks Jingle!
yep… we are all tools once in a while
some more often than others
some more useful than others, too!
Kim, sounds like you have a poem brewing. :)
