Captivating Limericks By the Poet Cj Lee



Posted: Saturday, July 21, 2007

by

a man found an abundance of green,

first money tree he'd ever seen,

but he didn't like money,

until it stuck to him like honey

and now he's a money fiend.

 

a man returned home from the store

after feeling a tiny bit sore,

took a bottle of pills , he'd been sold,

and swallowed them whole,

so his life nor his pain is no more.

 

a girl with bad memory lost her name,

said she had no one to blame,

so she made a name for herself

acquired great wealth,

and now she's one heck of a dame.

 

the wealthy became very poor

didn't know what on earth for

it got kind of funny,

the poor had no money,

and the world had nothing to abhor.

 

hate came looking for love,

didn't believe in the heavens above

so love removed a thin line,

made hate kind of kind,

and showed hate what love was made of.

cj, I like your style of poetry, are you a member of poem hunter? if not if you go to my bio, in it where I state I have poems published on poem hunter. If you click onto that link my site will open. Then above click onto "member area" and when the next window opens you'll see "new member" click onto that link and fill out the information. it's free I've been a member for I guess at least two years now. Once you get the hang of it it's a lot of fun. just thought I'd let you know...Dave

like the fact that you use an archaic form in new, unconventional ways, yet extol some traditional values weaving in and out of the expected and unexpected. limericks are the fanciful meter to do just that, whilst seen rarely these days. thanks for the trip.

hello dan, i enjoy reading and writing a lot , but i especially enjoy input from other writers and authors. it's like trying to do calculus or algebra, you know and think you can do it, but once others give their input, you know you can do it. thanks for the input . also thanks for providing the enjoyable articles to read. cj
