Rivals

Rivals
By Madeleine Begun Kane

An arrogant fellow named Kirk
Thought each of his rivals a jerk.
When he vied for promotion,
He caused a commotion.
Now arrogant Kirk’s out of work.

(This limerick was inspired by Writers Island’s “rivals” prompt. And speaking of prompts, there’s plenty of time left to give my latest relatives-related poetry prompt a try.)

By some strange quirk
For me too Humour did work!
And though for the prompt “Rival”
My submission is a late arrival
It might just make you smile or smirk !!

That was a nice one Mad Kane !

Hey there! Just discovered your site via Blog Carnival. Fun place! And, as my grandmummy would have said, just lousy with limericks. Wanna exchange links? If so, please leave a comment on any post on Small & Big at http://smallandbig@blogspot.com Thanks!
