Unassailable Logic
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A gal who looked young for her years
Was often assaulted by leers.
“That is rude,” pals opined,
But she said, “I don’t mind.
Soon enough they’ll replace them with jeers.”
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 gal who looked young for her years
Would go out and drink, saying, “Cheers!
My love life improves when
I hang out with such men
Whose eyesight is improved by their beers!”
I like your contest – you have great first lines…
A gal who looked young for her years,
had a butt lift up to her ears.
She visited Wal-mart,
let out a giant fart,
and hasn’t been seen for years.
ah, crap… used years twice.
FAIL.
New last line:
From drinking too many beers.
ah crap… used beers which has been used.
FAIL AGAIN.
New last line:
And killed a guy via turd spear.
A gal who looked you for her years
Brought all the young Bachelors to tears
When she said “not my type”
Their tears they did wipe
For by then her wrinkles appeared
A gal who looked young for her years
Said, “I think it’s time I changed careers
I’ve been going full throttle
As a garter belt model
But I’m going to switch to brassieres”
A gal who looked young for her years,
One day in the mirror had fears,
That eating too much
Of junkfood and such
Might back up her debt in arrears.
A gal who looked young for her years
Stopped in for a couple of beers
But when her ID
Showed she was 23
Well, all i could tell her was, “Cheers!”
A gal who looked young for her years
Brought teenage boys nearly to tears
When they asked her out
She’d invariably shout
“Hey, I’m way older than it appears!”
A gal who looked young for her years
Attracted plenty of leers
From dirty old men
Who were told right then,
“I look good but it’s all just veneers.”
A gal who looked young for her years
watched the movie The Sum of All Fears
She thought Affleck hot
And that proves she’s got
Not a whole lot between her two ears.
A gal who looked young for her years,
Fell in love with some racketeers,
Her luck ran out,
When she was fleeced by the louts
Now she’s chasing some rich financiers.
A gal who looked rather young for her years…
Was in fact sixty two, said her near and dears
So while she was busy on the phone
And, ahem, pumped the silicone
Something spilled, and some Botox ran out from her ears!
A gal who looked young for her years
Met a fellow still wet ‘hind the ears;
When she asked if he might
Like an “afternoon delight,”
He did not get the reference, me fears.
A gal that looked young for her years
attributed it to the number of beers
that she gave to her suiters
who thought she looked cuter
than the actual number of years.
A gal who looked young for her years
Had had a reset on her aging gears
But, like when buying a car,
Inspecting fiance saw a scar,
Too much mileage and wear were his fears. … See More
He hated to dump her and run
She had been a whole lot of fun
So he put off the wedding
Til he’d had enough bedding
Then he rode into the setting sun.
The “gal” learned a lesson that day
“Be yourself” or a price you will pay
Love’s always an inside game
If you want to change your name
“Go natural” is the wisest play.
A gal who looked young for her years
Taut from knife, scalpel, and shears
WIth Botox’d fat lips
And Lipo’d round hips
Perky boobies point to her ears
A gal who looked young for her years,
Sat in the terminal drowning in tears.
I asked what had happened,
And she said, “I was nappin’
Now my bags have flown to Algiers!”
A gal who looked young for her years
(Plastic surgery her chosen career)
Said “A stitch in time
Saves years—at least nine!
Check me out. I’m a great marketeer!”
Impermeable Paradox
A girl who looked young for her years,
of stillness had a myriad fears,
so with a logical grace
infinitely divided up space,
but halted in paradoxical tears.
A gal who looked young for her years
Than any of her old childhood peers
Her main reason to reveal
Was a deal with the lucifer
She’ll see hell when she smoke crystal clear
A gal who looked young for her years
Claimed her secret was daily kefirs.
Though intolerant to lactose
I ate twenty of those. And
I bloated like concentric spheres.
A gal who looked young for her years
Alas, never drew the men’s leers
She was peaches and creamy
And her figure was dreamy
But she bought all her outfits at Sears
A gal who looked young for her years
Was of course much disdained by her peers
Her envious cohort
Made her temper grow so short
She bagged all their beaus just for beers
