I.
There once was a dog named Copper
He had pearly whites in his chopper
but harmless was he
Wouldn’t harm a bee
His eyes were big heart stoppers
II.
Six months ago, we brought him home
and watched him while he roamed
He sniffed around
without a sound
then laid down with his bone
III.
His new home is his comfort zone
You wouldn’t believe how he’s grown
More like a horse
threw us off course
but how would we have known?
We’re very lucky to have adopted another wonderful dog.
Copper is a great addition to our family and
he’s a big lovable baby! ♥
These are first attempts at writing limericks.
I hope you enjoyed. They’re fun, but challenging.

how sweet! beautifully done! love, Linda
Thanks, Linda! xoxo
Very well done. I have a friend on another site who writes great limrricks. He’s published. David Pagett. Google him see if he comes up. Any who they are hard to write. For a fist try you did a very good job.
I’ll look him up and thanks for the vote of confidence, Kim…they are tricky! 🙂
🙂
Great stuff! And he seemed very happy too! 🙂

Thanks so much, Subhan! You are such a kind soul! 🙂
Not bad, not bad at all. You misspelled ‘course’ I think but other than that, good! 🙂
Oops, thanks for the correction and good eye, Joe! I’m obsessive about correct spellings, so I’m glad you caught that! 🙂
Wonderful tribute to a new member of the family. Well done.
Thanks, Eric! 🙂
Great limerick and what a lovely dog!
Thanks so much, David!
Absolutely delightful!

Limericks are not easy to write indeed, Lauren, but you did very well. Very enjoyable trilogy. And an adorable dog too! Hugs xox
Thanks, Francina, I hoped they’d be okay! I’m glad you think Copper’s adorable, too! Hugs back! xox
That is so darn cute, Lauren, and so is Copper! He got to be a big boy! Love and hugs xoxo
Thanks so much, Deb! He is a big boy, 75 lbs. of muscle! His personality, though, is so funny and lovable that there is no other option, but to melt! Much love and hugs to you, too! xoxo
Great job Lauren. hugs. 🙂 Copper is beautiful!!
Thanks, Renee, we are lucky! 🙂 Hugs to you, too, and have a wonderful weekend!
YOU are very welcome. 🙂

Thanks, Soma, glad you liked these! And I’ll pass on your hugs to Copper, it is such a pleasure, as he’s so lovable! He will be very pleased and appreciative, too! 🙂
cOPPER should be very proud – He has his very own limerick. Rub his ears for me. Virginia
I think he is, Virginia, and I will rub his ears for you! Thank you! 🙂
i remember when you got him!
he looks so big! 🙂
He’s an American Field lab, so he’s tall and lean, but he only weighs 74 lbs. I thought he’d be closer to 80 because he’s so strong, but all muscle! Thanks, Nanda! 🙂
