Limericks

 

There was a lass from Cincinnati

Who thought she would go quite batty

In trying to rhyme,

And in metrical time,

Silly limericks in the AM, 1:40.

 

--fleur   26.viii.78

 


 

If you're wondering where I have been

It's really not much of a sin:

In a parallel time,

It was really quite fine,

And you wouldn't believe the men!

 

--fleur   7.xii.79

 


 

For _____

 

I do not wish to impose

Nor step on anyone's toes,

But my thoughts most profound

Are seen running around

In "poetry masquerading as prose."

 

--fleur   29.vi.80

 


 

On Second Thought

 

"Prose that pretends to be verse"

You say is a terrible curse

But complain as you will

My free-verse you'll read still

As you really don't have any cherce!

 

--fleur   29.vi.80
