San Diego Momma is nothing if not a button pusher and envelope pusher and other pushy things (nice pushy things, she's really nice, you should meet her...and drink wine). She's trying to push all her PROMPTuesday Peeps to open up and write outside of their comfort zone. I'm trying very hard never to give myself a pass on any o fher prompts. Which is why with #34 she's gotten me to write a limerick. I'm so bad at writing rhyming poetry that I couldn't even make it dirty and I had to resort to the Nantucket thing just to get myself started. Feel free to shame me with fabulous limericks in the comments section (MAB, I'm looking at you in particular) 'cause I love limericks I just shouldn't sully the form by trying to write them.
There once was a poem from Nantucket
I’m trying to write and not fuck it
I bang out a rhyme
And it seems like a crime
But it’s good for my very own bucket….list.

Love it, love it, love it.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to make mine dirty,
My style is really more flirty.
But I'm not truly a prude.
In fact I can be quite rude.
And the view up my skirt is sure purty.
Oh, YAY!! I LURVE limericks! I've even written a few myself (and committed them to memory):
ReplyDeleteI woke in a mood mean and dour
my orange juice spoiled and sour
WAFFLES! I thought
would cheer me a lot
though it seems I am quite out of flour
Crazy old Annabelle Maude
Lived on a diet quite odd
she would only eat
pickled cabbage, pigs feet,
and bits of dehydrated cod.
JRH, I love yours! It really IS a little dirty!
OH SNAP!!! both of these...well. they got an all cap snap.
ReplyDeletei'm on my way to play practice
where we'll see just how good act one is
it's not really fair
I say a Hebrew prayer
and all I remember is
oy.
Funny! You did great!
ReplyDeleteFunny! You did great!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are amazing, just fabulous every one of you. How do you do it?
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding with the "I'm not good at rhyming poetry" thing?
ReplyDeleteThis was GOOD.
So good I'm not even going to do a limerick because the comparison would put me to shame.
there once was a girl named Kizzy,
ReplyDeletewho said she couldnt rhyme worth a shizzy
her bit didnt suck it
tho she used the nantucket
and we love her so much we get
dizzy.
xoxo.
An old woman from St. Moritz
ReplyDeleteWould scare the men out of their wits
When she headed downtown
And then threw off her gown
To display her old saggy vagina
(Sorry. Couldn't think of a body part that rhymed with "wits".)
Nantucket works. Brought a smile to my face. And LMAO on your commenters' pieces.
ReplyDeleteMAB, you are incorrigible.
