National Limerick Day

An old woman feeling quite drastic,

Undid her knicker elastic,

To allow some airflow,

To her, "Down below,"

Which she told passers by felt fantastic

When cold irony measures the weather

hot temper may throw us together

we’ll duel with long words

inappropriately absurd

then fly away light as a feather

No, quite right Graham and I have to confess I can't write a serious Limerick, I have tried but Limericks just lend themselves to humour don't they??

Without sounding like the party pooper, I think it is a shame that most (if not all) Limericks are written to be funny.
Try writing a serious one. It's not as easy as you think.
