Missed kiss

just a silly limerick. but, hey, all limericks are silly, right?

There was a bespectacled Mister

Who met a young lass named Pfister

He noticed her sly winks

So he plied her with drinks

But then when he kisster he misster

Not gonna take the negative view; I'm visualizing Pfister missing her lovely, willing mouth and landing, nose first, into her breathtakingly-defined, most ample and quite fragrant cleavage.
Every once in a while, Woody, ya gotta give a "sucker" an even break.
Lively limerick!

[Woody]

haha he missed the lips but I don't know where he landed. I left that to the imagination of the reader.
thanks Frankie :)

[wordman]

well woody it seems you nailed it,with your special way of writing

[Woody]

hardly :( but thanks for trying to boost my morale, wordman. I was quite proud of myself before Nusquam came along. this needs some editing apparently.
thanks a lot wordman. yes I enjoy writing this sort of silly stuff.

[wordman]

you are welcome

Technically a limerick is supposed to follow a meter, 9-9-6-6-9, which this does not. Although, since your middle lines are not as long as the others, and you have a rhyming scheme, I don't think it is a big deal. If you ask me, Pfister sounds more like the name of a liquor than any fine lass... :P Which leads me to wonder if the problem here is how thoroughly sauced this mister is, or if there was an issue with his spectacles to begin with. :D I wonder what he managed to kiss when he did miss...

[Woody]

haha thank yu for an amusing review, N.
I see the red dragon' back! nice to see you again my friend.
Pfister, it sounded Danish or Sweedish to me. but it does sound like a drink, too.
now, 99669. damn I'll never get that right. I'll try to keep it in mind.
thanks Nusquam.

[Nusquam Esse]

furthermore the lines are supposed to be divided into groups of three feet. da-da-DUM-da-da-DUM-da-da-DUM. Of course it all just depends on how technical you want to get. :D

[Woody]

god!!! I thought limericks were the easiest form of poetry.
now I have to watch for the feet!

Have you ever seen the Specsaver's TV adverts? They're hilarious, especially the one about the shepherd shearing his sheep. He's so short sighted that he ends up giving his poor dog an incredibly untidy shearing, and the caption at the end of each advert is 'Should've gone to Specsaver.'

[Woody]

nope. never heard of that but I'm going to check it out immediately :)

[Woody]

hilarious, Beccy. thanks :)

[Beccy]

Poor chap, should have gone to Specsavers. :)

Beccy.

[Woody]

oh shoot! I'm usually better than this! your "Specsavers" showed me my error. I'll make the change.
thank you Beccy.

[Marie]

I think this is prety good. It rhymes, it scans; it's a funny limerick.

[Woody]

aww thank you Marie. I'm glad I got this one right.

[Lydia Shutter]

Love the rhyming in this one...sing songy and cute. Certainly made me smile. You have a wonderful sense of humor. Lydi**

[Woody]

thank you so much Lydi. remove humour from my life and I'm a dead man :)

[Samuel Dickens]

This is cute. It sounds like both of them might have been a bit soused.

[Woody]

thank you Sam. I suppose "soused" means drunk. never come across it. if so, then yeah, obviously he's had a few himself.

[Samuel Dickens]

Yes, it's another word for it. At some point, I might also say "pie-eyed", "s**t-faced", or "looped".
