National Poetry Month: Poetry Challenge of the Day
Flint Town Limerick
My pockets are empty - save lint

But the strip clubs still make a mint

Very funny and so true! Good one!
Isn't that ALWAYS the case with strip-clubs? Good one. Very amusing.
Fantastic.You please read my post on Limeraiku in Tamil i my posts.
Thank you guys. This was a fun poem. I had never had a go at a Limerick before. I can't wait to see the Obama-Llama poem.
Very nicely done....Good poem !
Very good, JL! Working on an Obama limerick, and a llama should come in the rhyme somewhere.
