Tone Deaf Limerick
Tone Deaf Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A woman who crooned out of key
Did it loudly with pleasure and glee.
She believed she sang well,
Like a beautiful bell.
But “please stop,” was the usual plea.
(For Think Tank Thursday’s “key.”)
You can find much of my music humor here.

Were you outside my shower door this morning? ;-)
This poor woman sounds too much like me!
Quite a few people out there fancy exercising their pipes much to the consternation of those around them. Your poem portrays that scene brilliantly.
Just right!
haha and we can only hope that she does…smiles.
Love this, Mad! Great take on the prompt! :)
When e’er she did recitative,
everyone said it was their pet peeve.
But her arias? Worse.
When she sang, all would curse.
From her ‘talent’ there was no reprieve.
Sounds like some of the singers I hear on karaoke night!
Not a plea you are likely to hear!
A woman who crooned out of key
Said there’s Do and then Ray and then Me,
I must meet Tee and Law
To complete the jigsaw
then my octave wont be all at sea.
