Not a Poet, I know it ~ Limerick Stew

Rated 'E' for Everyone....

Decided to write a Limerick

The words I chose were a little sick

I tried to stay clean

But got too obscene

I gave up and said...the heck with it!

Or perhaps a new Send-Jew-Rue

Or maybe a simple Hi-Coo

But aren't they the same?

Just two different names?

To whatever you say... screw you!

Have opted to go Free Verse

Stumbled and started to curse

Going to slow

Words didn't flow

Better off left to rehearse

Much nicer to call it a Prose

Like the sweet, sweet scent of a rose

But that crap was stinking

The heck was I thinking

I’d much rather pierce my nose

I throw out some words that might rhyme

But I never put in the time

Fill them with fluff

Never real stuff

True poets must find this a crime

Call it whatever you want

I have no talent to flaunt

But I typed up this poem

From a seat in my home

And added a stupid font

Sometimes I need a good slap

Instead you stand and you clap

But what can I say

You’ve brightened my day

Thank you for reading my crap

Self deprecating humor at its best, Dye. Very clever and cute. Lydi**

[Dye]

Thank you so much Lydi---nice of you to pay me a visit.

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

Dye! You just gave me a good laugh! The rhymes are a little "trying hard" but I think that what makes this piece a huge success. You seemed to be having fun in writing this, and you entertained us very well. I'll read this every time I'm down. This will never fail to cheer me up. ;)

Congratulations, Dye! :x

[Dye]

I'm glad I could make you laugh. Some of it is a little forced and the meter is off. Although it was unintentional I think it just adds to my point. LOL Thank you so much Blue. :)

[Art Sun]

this is a fun (funny) write Dye...sometimes we take ourselves to serious no...anyways liked this and very creative ...

[Dye]

[Tate Morgan]

This was cute i thought very well thought out .You are a good soul you know it .Rated E for everyone lol that was cute .

[Dye]

Thank you Tate, it's fun to just goof around sometimes and laugh at yourself. "Good soul", that was really sweet :) This actually took a few re-writes to make it rated "E", which inspired the first stanza. LOL

[Tate Morgan]

that made me laugh and I appreciate that

[Dye]

Thank you again :)

[Pryde Foltz]

Very funny and enchanting and the vulnerability you throw in makes it beautiful.

Sorry, to give, I have no rant
just another annoying round
of those ever-present claps

[Dye]

LOL --- You are so funny Pryde :) you gave me a good chuckle with that. Thank you so much for your kind words and for stopping by.

[Robbie~xoxo~]

Ha ha! This is sheer entertainment, Dye!

I love your self-deprecating poetic parody... for I feel the same sometimes (I write a lot of crap). LMAO
This is cleverly written, and might I add, refreshing!...there is nothing sexier than a funny woman. ;)
Nicely penned!

[Dye]

Thank you Robbie, happy I could bring you a little laugh. I'm my worst critic so it's easy to poke fun at myself and I love laughing. For what it's worth, I haven't read anything of yours that I thought was "crap".

[Robbie~xoxo~]

You have made me giggle this morning.. Thanks! :))
