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

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.
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.”
Fun limericks! Please keep them coming! Thanks.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
More fun limericks! Thanks! And please keep them coming.
