Creative Verse
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A creative young woman named Ro
Snagged a role in an Off-Broadway show.
She could sing, dance, write verse,
Paint and bake, but her curse
Was she never could raise any dough.
Please feel free to write your own limerick using the same first line and post it in my comments. And if you’re on Facebook, I hope you’ll join my friends in that same activity in my Limerick-Offs.

A creative young woman named Ro
Took her easel wherever she’d go;
In the subway, the mall
Or the ladies room stall . . .
Inspiration’s like lightning, you know.
A creative young woman named Ro
Had a hard time making any dough.
She couldn’t sell her works
And the critics were jerks
So she thought she’d give hooking a go.
A creative young woman named Ro
Wondered how would the melody go
If the orchestra played
A Baroque serenade
In the style of Bert Brecht or Milhaud?
An Ode to Miss Ro from Beaufort
A creative young woman named Ro
Slipped into a freighter en route to Oslo
She hid in the hold
Faced miseries untold
The rats, not really, but the sailors in the know!
When the creative lady reached port
The sailors hung her up by her coat
From the hold’s hoist
And her eyes became moist
It was not Oslo, she was back in Beaufort
Creativity, being back in her good old city
Took a leap, dumped into the Atlantic Sea
She swam in the nude
Amid remarks rather lewd
As she waded in, she knew she was not Pamela Anderson, what a pity!
So Ro was back, they welcomed her home,
Her husband, the poor remorseful gnome
Knew he could chew
This woman, as men do
But she hammered his head in time to a metronome!
Beaufort, you would miss Mrs. Ro
For she is always on the go
Sometimes seen
In Halloween
And sometimes by her husband’s grave in Buffalo
None know as Miss Ro will know
When they sent her to the gallows
The reason for her trip
The smile on her lip
Would stay, and her skirt? Oh! Oh!
These are certainly fun! Robin, you create quite the image. And Dr. Goose, I love your musical references.
A creative young woman named Rho
Loved the Greek language, and so
For dessert she loved pi
She said with a psi
“Made with filo and no other dough.”*
*Last line from David Lefkovitz
A creative young woman name Ro
was pretty and loaded with dough
and loved single men,
but now and again,
a group of men made her glow.
MOVIN’ ON UP
A creative young woman named Ro…
Loved to tantalize Randy, her beau.
She would dance for his pleasure,
And tease for good measure,
Then enjoy the results of her show.
A creative young woman named Ro
Who, when told to “Stop it!”, said “NO!!!”.
She flung paint ‘gainst the wall
(Really had quite a ball.)
When Ro hung it, she won “Best of Show”.
A creative young woman named Ro
Met a sailor on special furlough
His uniform with kissing
Led to bed – no resisting
Where her creative juices did flow…
(Daisy is SUCH a bawdy dog!)
“Men Don’t Make Passes at Girls Who Wear Glasses?”
A creative woman named Ro
Had trouble keeping a beau.
And though she was pretty
And her poems quite witty,
Her boyfriends inevitably would go.
A creative woman named Ro…
With a smile, shake her hips to and fro
She is fat, thighs would smack
Backless dress, show her crack
Kmart Sexy, her real name is Joe
A creative young woman named Ro
Teased her whole life ’bout boats, don’cha know
Cried one day, “That’s enough!
When the Ro-wing gets tough
Change your name: I’m now Roquefort Snow.”
I turn my back for a minute and lots more fun limericks come in. Thanks!
