Broken-Hearted Investment (A Limerick)

There once was a passionate gent

Who bankrupted his heart, all was spent

`Til with his last moan he took out a loan

Re-investing himself into debt

 

There once was a lady sincere

Who took to him, oh what a dear

Then he opened his heart and she shrieked with a start

Couldn't take it, she thought him most queer

 

The moral of this little theme

Is to keep close to vest, stay serene

Hold back, keep it slow and let the trust grow

A trust-fund's in order, it seems

This made me chuckle, it was very nice of you to write about my life with women LOL

She said I love you with a poke
While it was my wallet she wanted to stroke
I'm telling you this is no joke

She stole my heart
Tore my bank account apart
When all the money was spent
She gave my up for another gent

Sorry Dagonut I couldn't resist LOL

That was great. I had an ex-husband who recited endless lyrics. How he remembered them I'll never know. I couldn't remember any so he kept us endlessly entertained reciting them, and they were always fresh and new to me :-)

I agree with Underdog, this is a very humorous piece. It was nice taking a break from free verse to read something that was rhyming and structured. I think that the rhyme scheme was flawless and your word choice was marvelous. I definitely enjoyed reading this with the traditional limerick style. I think that it's fun to read these pieces in their musical style. I appreciate that you have the patience for structure and rhyme. Kudos on a very comical piece. -Kenji Light

A trust fund and end stage terminal illness are what I always look for in a man. Love your humor!
