The Unbalanced Car Poem by Spock the Vegan
The Unbalanced Car
A man's wife was almost six hundred pounds
When she was in the car the right dipped down
Her side of the car was not the right height
He put heavy-duty springs on car's right
Then he could drive her all over the town.
This poem has the same qualities as a limerick. Loved reading it!
Thanks Mihaela. I didn't call it a limerick because every line has the same number of syllables.
A fascinating story. Although it is true, was it perhaps inspired by a fairly new poet from Canada who weighed over 600 pounds last year, and now is down to about 500?
I don't think so, but the unconscious mind works in mysterious ways.
Thanks, Bernard. Yes, he was a salesman from a nearby town who came to my town and told me about it.

I NEVER COUNT SYLLABLES BUT HER WEIGHT MUST HAVE TO BE BALANCED SPRINGS YES HAVE YOU EVER MY POEMS READ
I don't always, but sometimes do. A limerick normally has lines 3 & 4 shorter than the others. I don't think I have seen any of yours - must check them out. Thanks for commenting.
