Can you believe that I’ve never written a limerick? Well, I felt inspired and had fun with these attempts. Some are witty, but a few are more serious. So, I hope you enjoy, and if I made you laugh or others resonated, let me know in the comments below. And remember, these are attempts, so go easy on me! 😃❤️

Copper

There once was a dog named Copper
Who sported a nice set of choppers.
He’d wiggle for treats.
His favorite were meats.
He’d be the best eager shopper!

Clouds

The clouds hang gloomy and gray
Not making for a very fine day.
But joy lives in hearts.
Takes one thought to start
invoking a warm, glowing ray!

Doe

There once was a beautiful doe.
She didn’t know which way to go.
Her hills were so dry,
She wanted to cry,
Still, some say change isn’t so!

Mallards

Mallards relax on the water
Unaware of the human spotter.
They find their mate,
A temporary date,
Then succumb to the steadfast stalker!

African Gray

The African Gray talks up a storm.
His conversing is part of his norm.
He’ll say “Good morning!”
Flap his wings for soaring.
He mimics and loves to perform!

Sam and Pam

She lives in a web and her name is Sam.
She loves her twin sister whose name is Pam.
Their conduct is friendly.
They spin their silk gently.
But they keep to their own, so scram!

She’s Smart

She’s smart but lacks self-confidence.
She builds many walls and a fence.
Prefers to stay home,
Would rather not roam,
Her way of thinking doesn’t make sense.

Women

Women’s bodies are a topic.
Some thoughts are myopic.
It is their choice.
They have a voice.
Their value is not microscopic!

Diagnosis

The diagnosis came September.
Sad news I will remember.
I had to adjust.
Accepting, a must,
Though pain like a burning ember!

Young Lab

There once was a friendly, young lab
With energy delightfully fab.
He loved belly rubs.
Hated baths in the tub.
He gave big, toothy smiles, never sad!

Bloom

Flowers delight in vivid bloom
To adore through the month of June.
Their colors so brilliant,
Grown with resilience,
Brings sneezes and a feeling of doom!

Thanks so much for stopping by! ❤️🤗
