Limericks Confessions

Limericks

While on the road to Tipperary

I met a lass who was very hairy

But her kisses were fine 

Like strawberry wine

So after she shaved, I asked her to marry.

***

I came to America from my Emerald Isle

To make my fortune in the American style.

But I was disheartened to find 

so many of my kind

So I did what I could and remained in denial.

***

Sanders was my grandfather's name

And the Sanders before him sported the same.

He wore it proud, 

but not like a shroud,

Which kept his foot in the game.

That first limerick is hilariously honest! My favourite! When you aren't a wine expert like me, and see the words "strawberry wine" you think to yourself... wine can come from strawberries too? Ah i just found that a bit interesting, because I thought it was always grapes... I enjoyed reading your funny limericks!

[JE Falcon]

Much thanks. --- They say that the grape makes the wine, but so does the jalapeno, macadamia nut, rice grain, and rhubarb. *The Cardinal Hollow Winery in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, produces wine made from 100 percent jalapeno, with no grapes or flavorings. *Macadamia Nut Wine: This concoction is surprisingly subtle — sweet with honey tones and a light butter finish. Try it with dark chocolate, ice cream, or nuts. --- *Tart Cherry Wine: As you might expect, this wine is tart and sweet and best served chilled. We suggest pouring a small glass of it with a meal of pork chops. *Rhubarb Wine: This is not the rhubarb-strawberry dessert wine you might expect. Brace yourself for the peppermint, cedar, and raspberry flavors mixed with a bouquet of Christmas spices and raspberry notes. Wooo! :)

at least You are HONEST and YOU confess :> :> :> unwanted hair is a suffer for women before men, so good that there is a way to get rid of it so You can marry. the second one makes me a little bit sad, what can we do but to accept the reality! sigh! I think You are great with Limericks, You write them with fun and understood language for us. Thank You for sharing~

nice group of limericks
I especially like the
first one..lol all three
well done ..enjoyed reading
them...

[JE Falcon]

Limericks are supposed to be funny, and 5 lines, which I always forget. I fixed the 5-line thing and will have to settle for one that has humor. But I happy that you stopped by to try some samplings.

Yes, shaving has become a must in modern lust. These were great! I could almost hear an Irish accent as I read them. More please!

[JE Falcon]

When I write Irish, the dialog in my head takes on a "Barry Fitzgerald" kind of accent. (The Movie, "The Quiet Man"). --- Thanks!

reminded with this third one of grandfather, orphan from Sicily...named cilberto until they changed it to make him not stand out as much with his/our heritage.

the first one here really made me chuckle.

Thanks, Jacob :) --- Smiles are supposed to follow a Limerick reading, but I'll take one out of three any day. --- I have always had a fondness for Italian-sounding names, I even gave my daughter one. --- And as far as changing names to nicknames, I once knew a guy named "Fortunato Castañeda", we called him "Nate"; Go figure(?).

Limericks are fun to write. I often find myself writing them when I'm at a loss what else to write. I've written more than 50, so I'm quite often at a loss... lol! I enjoyed the read.

[JE Falcon]

We must follow the same thought forms; I find myself writing more poems, of all kinds, when I reach a slump, like right now. Oh well, happy you enjoyed the read. Have a great day.

[cheyenne s garcia]

Well done! Funny to me for some reason. But I loved it.

[JE Falcon]

Happy you like them, cheers!
