Barking Letters (Limerick)

Just another silly one.

There was once a poet in Shanghai,

who forgot to dot each of his 'i's

and left the 't's unmarked,

so his 'm's and 'w's barked,

making him poke himself in the eye!

Reviews

Clever enough to have a few meanings. Well done.

On a very slightly unrelated note... never a trust a kid who always opens his reviews refering to themselves. for example... "reminds me of when i rap..."

Those kinds of people aren't really talking to you about your work, they're just waiting for the chance to talk about their's.

Thanks so much for appreciating this one too, David. And okay, noted ;)

[Wanda Vergara-Yates]

I wanted to read "eye" as another i. but this was funny. great job.

[Ted Kniffen]

Thanks for the smile, Doc. Some people look down their noses at limericks...probably the same ones who don't think of Robert Service as a poet...but they are a fun, clever bit of rhyme that brings a chuckle...at least it did for me.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Glad it made you smile, Ted. Thank you so much for reading and your words here :)

I'm acutally not a huge fan of limericks. However, this piece was witty! This brought a smile to my face. Even now, as I write, I'm grinning and shaking my head. I thoroughly enjoyed. Great read.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Well then I'm glad this one made you smile and that you enjoyed :D Thank you so much for reading :))

[barleygirl]

I love this! Great imagination & fun tie-in with writers. I read a couple of your limericks lately & that was part of what led to my "Limerick Uptick" . . . I really love the snappy attitude & rhyme/rhythm of limericks (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I feel like I can only rhyme when it's in limericks, otherwise it's too hard for me and comes out forced :x lol
Thank you so much for appreciating, and glad you were inpired to write too. Hugs back

[apennylate]

Reminds me of when I rap...
Cause I always mix-mash 'em
"I forgot to dot my T's and cross my I's"...
Then blah blah blah
rhyming rhyming rhyming...
Something like that

This was not only amusing, it was catchy...
So...
Two thumbs
One eye, though...
Or an eye-patch

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hah, I rarely use pen and paper in real to write, I'm more of a typing kind of writer, so it saves time ;P
I'm glad you found it catchy and amusing :D thank you so much for appreciating, D. :))
What's up with the eye-patch though? o.o

[apennylate]

You said he poked himself in the eye...
I thought...
...
Yeah me as well
I can not even write ON paper, anymore...
Aha...
DO YOU GET THE EYE PATCH THING, THOUGH!
I thought it was terrrrribly clever

[Chris Shaw]

That was fun Dr Y. You always do limericks which make the reader smile. Hope all is good with you.

Chris

[Dr. YumnaKay]

And it's funny because I usually write limericks when I'm feeling down myself so it's a therapy of sorts ;P
Thank you so much for appreciating, Chrisitine. I've been well, hope all is good with you and yours too x

[Chris Shaw]

Pleased to hear all good with you :)
