Tom went to the ugly bug ball Strange insects invaded the hall Folks dressed up as fleas, Cockroaches and bees The smile on his face said it all Tom hoped for a little romance Asked a cute centipede to dance She whacked him on the nose When he trod on her toes He went home in an ambulance! 7th April 2017

This may be one of my favorites. It is so darn cute to picture in my brain. I laughed aloud on 2nd line. Love ... CayCay

Those who consider your humourous poetry lightweight are wrong. Your work is brilliant.

Just excellent. Easily publishable. I take all your poetry very seriously. A well written funny limerick is as impressive as a shakespearean sonnet as far as I'm concerned. A Fav. Lots Of Love armand.
