Three Limericks Poem by Graeme Williams

Three Limericks



1.

There once was a gold digging rat,
Who married for money, so that,
Should his wife expire
Then he could retire.
But she left it all to the cat.

2.

A blushing young bride got a fright,
When it came to her wedding night,
As hubby undressed,
She screamed and confessed,
That she'd never seen such a sight.

3.

A woman was heard to complain,
'From eating I cannot refrain.'
But then, nine months later,
She went into labour,
And said, 'That explains the weight gain.'

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I was inspired by reading the three Limericks written by Dawn Ferris to have a go myself. I think, because Limericks were quite common when I was a teenager and have a propensity to be a little risqué, I hadn't appreciated that they are quite a formal poetic form. Good fun to write anyway. Thanks Dawn :)
