Deb's Challenge

There are many poets on Poetry Soup Deb’s limerick contest has thrown for a loop Try as they might They can’t write it right To Deb it comes out smelling like poop Deb's instructions I've tried to hit While writing my own lim-er-ick Each and every time I miss the meter and the rhyme Throw up my hands and exclaim, "Oh ... poop"

Joe, Dane Ann called today and I had her read this aloud over the phone. She was in stitches too. The "Oh...poop" just blew us away. Love, Carolyn

Are you sure you meant to say Poop in the last line, Joe? There is another word that would rhyme better and not change the meaning. LOL And thanks to Carolyn, I who never catches jokes, got it! lol Very funny! I hope Debbie gets a real hoot out of this one, too.

LOL -- Deb sent me a note telling me how good your entry was, Joe. I don't think you have anything to worry about. Got a real kick out of this one, though. Love, Carolyn
