Limerick.69. False Teeth

Rating: 5.0


There was an old man in Plymouth
Who had a set of false teeth
Once when he ate,
A piece of tough meat
His fake teeth fell off his mouth!

I liked the idea of this and it was clever but not a true limerick the first two lines should rhyme and the second two as well with the last line rhyming with the first eg There was an old man from Leith Who had a set of false teeth but when when he ate meat he found it a such a feat For a piece always went underneath Not a brilliant example but it gives you the idea. However it was a valiant effort never the lass

Yes, never the lass. I enjoy humour on both sides of the poem.

Lovely poem. Enjoyed reading it. We need to extract as much humour as possible out of a Limerick. So, I don't think one should be a purist all the time.
