Splash!

Posted bywordsandcoffee1Posted inPoetry, W3 PromptsTags:, , , , , 
There was an inflatable crocodile
who supported five children for a while
they leaned on his head
and then--oops!-- he was dead
no more inflatable crocodile

I wrote this limerick for this week’s Wea’ve Written Weekly. David provided us a simple prompt this week:

*Write a poem about something that amuses you!*

This poem was inspired by true events while we were at the beach with friends last week. Apparently, there is a weight limit on inflatable crocodiles. I would assume the same is true for real crocodiles, but I don’t intend to test this theory. With a bit of duct tape, Grumpy will live to carry small people around another day.

  9. Hehehe! I remember those days! We had a pool party last Saturday and although there weren’t 5 kids on an inflatable, there was an adult on a kid’s ring. It didn’t pop but instead slowly deflated. The kids then took turns trying to dive in to “rescue” it from the bottom of the pool… I love the limerick!!

  11. Haha that made me laugh pretty hard. Here’s an attempt at a humorous lymmeric from an old carpet cleaning pro:

    There once was dog named rain
    His full bladder was causing such pain
    He went on the rug
    But is he a bad pug
    For simply creating a pet stain?

    Let me know what you think haha
