High-Flying Limerick

Once again, it’s Limerick-Off time. I hope you’ll join me in writing a limerick with this first line:

A high-flying fellow in sales…

Here’s mine:

High-Flying Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane

A high-flying fellow in sales
Had a penchant for telling tall tales.
But he told one too many
And lost ev’ry penny,
So now he is riding the rails.

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 Facebook Limerick-Off post.

    A high flying fellow in sales
    Was known for his mischief on trails
    From lips loosened with drink
    Came secret corporate numbers – That fink!
    And now he’s laundering in jails.

    A high flying fellow in sales
    took to selling in top hat and tails
    His earnings were few
    But he found something new
    He had made a great hit with gay males.

  3. Dr. Goose says:

    A high-flying fellow in sales
    Was indicted on “fraud through the mails”
    When a county D.A.
    Heard this high-flyer say:
    “I’ve got something for whatever ails.”

    A high-flying fellow in sales
    Sells bra sets to working she-males.
    They leave looking pretty,
    As if they have kitty,
    Surprising their johns — Never Fails!

  6. Libby says:

    A high-flying fellow in sales,
    Sold smokeable stuff by the bales.
    His product smelled funny,
    but he made lots of money,
    til the day that he landed in jail.

  7. Daisy Mae says:

    A high flying fellow in sales
    (A trapeze artist blazing new trails)
    Took a fall from the bar
    Landing atop his car
    Now catches his orders by email!

  8. scott says:

    A high-flying fellow in sales,
    Whose chief product was bathroom scales.
    Gave one to his wife.
    The worst mistake of his life.
    It’s too gory to go into details.

  9. Lee Magilow says:

    A high-flying fellow in sales
    said, “Its time that I blaze some new trails.”
    While exploring directions,
    he made some connections.
    He’s handling staples and nails.

  10. Bob Kennedy says:

    A high-flying fellow in sales
    Has a soft-sell pitch that never fails
    Your ego, he’ll feed
    His prospectus you’ll read
    Soon you’ll feel you’ve been buggered by whales!

  11. jesse levy says:

    A high-flying fellow in sales
    considered himself tough as nails
    But he cried like a baby
    when a prospect said, “Maybe.”
    Now he lies all day on his percales.

  12. scott says:

    A high-flying fellow in sales,
    is stuck in a rut and always fails.
    But it’s said in his youth,
    he could sell facts and truth,
    to FOX president Roger Ailes.
