Romantic Verse
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A romantic young fellow named Will
Was in love with a woman named Jill.
He proposed on his knees,
But then started to sneeze.
Perhaps he should phone Dr. Phil.
Please feel free to write your own limerick using the same first line and post it in my comments. And if you’re on Facebook, I hope you’ll join my friends in that same activity in my Limerick-Offs.

A romantic young fellow named Will
made love to a girl name Jill
her whispers so tender
her services rendered
not a word to his wife until…… See More
the divorce that he sought was legit
his ex-wife throw surely a fit

she left with his wife
causing some strife
a causality of the latest trend!

Failing thrice in a row

“I don’t mean to be trashin’

Found out late that she missed a pill
And now that she’s late
His libido to mate
Has gone spiraling down to a nil
Dr. Phil is comedy…and romance?
Love this one, Madeleine! You’ve inspired me to write my first limerick, and of course I gave you credit for its birth!
I agree with Old Ollie…Dr. Phill, romance?
Hey, the poem was good for a laugh anyway. Thanks.
Lynette, thanks for the kind words. I’m so glad I inspired you to write a limerick, and I’m looking forward to reading it.
Old Ollie and Andy, my point was to make fun of Dr. Phil and people who consult Dr. Phil and his ilk for any sort of advice.
And thanks again to all of you who posted limericks!
I so love this! Hilarious!
A romantic young fellow named Will
said of love, “I have certainly had my fill.”
Then along came a coquet name of Jane
who made poor Will forget even his name.
You can find him out wondering still.

Fun limerick, Elizabeth! And thanks, Sherry!
