LIMERICKS
1.
Today I am mowing the
grass
But weeds are up to my
ass
In an old flower bed
Mowed myself instead
Now footless—shorter
than my lass
2.
He plays the violin bad
It shrieks—sounds so
sad
Fiddle won't sing
With a rusty string
He wishes a Strad* he
had
*Stradivarius

LOL! You paint quite the image in your first limerick. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in. I hope you'll give my weekly Limerick-Off challenges a try.
lol...hope the footless one is fiction...might be hard to ride your scooter...def some fun ones steve....great job!
ReplyDeletei need to cut the grass so i better be careful
LOL! this sounds like my "lawn"... great little ditty! as always. ♥
ReplyDeleteVery nice, though the first made me cringe as my step-mom lost several of her toes that way.
ReplyDeleteI've mowed grass that high; it's scary. Great job here on both Steve. I think the remarks on the violin are probably quite a bit tongue in cheek. But doesn't every musician want the best possible instrument? I love listening to Yo Yo Ma and Itzak as much for the tone of their instruments as for the way they play!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to weeds and mowers like yours.

Great job on both of your limericks! Almost sounds like you've been peeking at my flower beds...middle of March and they already look hopeless!
ReplyDeleteAwww, trim those weeds.
ReplyDeleteSteve, your limericks made me laugh loud
ReplyDeleteAs the guy's locomotion was plowed.
And the one on the fiddle
Made me chuckle a little.
Of these verses you should be quite proud.
Steve, my friend, you're supposed to be footloose, not footless. Cute limericks!
ReplyDeleteHehe - great limericks!
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
Original and funny.
ReplyDeleteawesome limericks
ReplyDeleteHi Steve, Thank you for your sweet words. You always make me feel good. Heheh. Hopefully, I will be able to find time this weekend and catch up with your blog. I have been out of town visiting my FIL and then returned to a very hectic work schedule. Thank goodness it is Friday! See you soon!!! Tsup!
ReplyDeleteYour footless story was such a laugh
ReplyDeleteI hope I never walk on my calf
A trimmed lawn is nice
But I’ll stay off the ice
And find some professional staff
funny stuff - except for the foot - ouch!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute, funny and a little naughty!
ReplyDeleteLove 'em!
u sure a strad would make him sound good? sometimes, it's just technique, praactice and a good ear
ReplyDeleteThank you, Steve. This made me laugh out loud and lightened my heart.
ReplyDeleteEnding up legless might have been a better option:-)
ReplyDeleteI bet many people would like a Strad.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, these are gems! Your lass must be 7 feet tall, because you are a wonderful towering figure in my eyes, footless or not.
