You Are Beautiful

He claimed to be wise beyond measure, ancient and archaic. Told me countless cliches like, "Life is what you make it!". So I beat him senseless with his cane, picking up his shattered remains, and made from him the most beautiful mosaic.

LOL! "So I beat him senseless with his cane." Had me cracking up for a few minutes there. Did NOT see that one coming! Nicely done! I like how this was different. :D

I think I have dashed some peoples expectations of me when I posted this one! Oh well... I write what I write. Glad you got a laugh, even if this limerick was completely ridiculous...

common Tim, this is not the kind of poetry i know you for. witty? yes. But certainly not poetic.

Sorry to disappoint you, my friend. I strive to be unpredictable when it comes to writing... to always change things up so no one knows what to expect. Though you are not amused I appreciate your honest comments, nonetheless.

I will be careful not to write you any Cliches! This is more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Better to walk with a cane than to be struck down with one. Great poem Tim!

Thanks Rick... I believe we all need a little nonsense in our life, now and then. To break free from all the dead-seriousness.

Well I'm not honestly not sure what to say about this one! It's a bit morbid to say the least... but I like to surprise people by posting really off-the-wall ones such as this!

Yes... this is a bit different, I admit! Delving into the world of limericks, you tend to do that... haha.
