Married To Acrostic Limericks
In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve become hooked on writing acrostic limericks, largely due to prompts from Acrostics Only.
Married To Acrostic Limericks
By Madeleine Begun Kane
“Asunder we never shall be,”
Promised Dean to his bride-to-be Bree.
At the altar his vow
Reassured her, but now
They’re divorced via legal decree.

Maybe it’s not meant to be
Uttered a groom to be free.
Redolant of charm, He
Did his bride harm, see
E’s now in the slammer, oh me.
Required to pay back his debt
E’s starting to have some regret
Dead now is his bride
He just couldn’t hide
ERratta which now makes him sweat.
(Note: I guess I just could have gone on and on to make the Murdered Her come out even but…)
Well done, Madeleine! Love the acrostic, and this one’s got a sweet rhythm to it.
Oh how awful divorce can be
Life into the light for all to see
Until it’s done
Then comes the fun
Catching a disease or three..LOL
Another nice one.
very clever…
oh how quicly it descends…fine bit of limerick…smiles.
Have you read this out loud? it’s a tongue twister!
Two forms I can’t manage. You amaze me.
Very clever! I haven’t tried anything this tricky in a while.
The last acrostic poem I did was to a girl – her name made up the acrostic.
She married someone else.
wah, so quickly asunder. sigh.
OUCH!! Despite the seriousness of this affair, your limerick made me smile at this one, Madeleine! Marriage is indeed more than just repeating some words at the altar.. it’s actually making an attempt to LIVE them.. no?! :)
clever indeed… and all too savvy a commentary on modern-day wedded bliss….
This is a goodie Madeleine, thanks for the smiles!
“Asunder we shall never be,”
Said he to the gal named Bree.
But alas he preferred sharp cheddar–
In his own mind that flavor was so much better–
So now he’s trying to get free.
Very witty! Good reflection on the general state of the average modern marriage.
:) I had to read it a couple of times–Good job making me think! :)
Thanks so much everyone for your enthusiasm! And thanks Jesse, Pat, and Sandy for your verse!
You bring a lot of variety to your ALs. it amazes me.
