I Blame Edward Lear!
I Blame Edward Lear! (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A woman who loves to write verse
Has bits of it stuffed in her purse.
She frets about rhyme
Nearly all of the time.
She’s addicted, for better or worse.
Happy Birthday, Edward Lear! And Happy Limerick Day, May 12th!
You can find more National Limerick Day celebration limericks here and here.

A woman who loved to write verse
Had a limerick blog she loved to nurse
She didn’t make a dime
With all those fancy rhymes
But left us with thoughts often perverse.
I note that Google did not demonstrate their recognition of our Edward, in the time-honoured way yesterday…
A man who loved to write verse
was a neologist and notably terse
to demonstrate that
an owl and a cat
did some things that were rather perverse!
This is not a limerick off, I know, but Hansi started it…!
Fun limericks, Hansi and Poetjanstie!
Poetjanstie, while this isn’t a formal Limerick-Off, you’re always welcome to turn my limericks into informal limerick-offs.
Cute one… I love Edward Lear!
Thanks, Laurie!
I LOVE it — great rhyming verse, purse & worse. Cool site!
Thanks so much Anjie!
Has bits of it stuffed in her purse…LOL!!!!
A woman who loved to write verse
Could shift herself out of reverse
By writing with these
Most beautiful keys
A limerick with which to converse
Fun one, Jeanne! Thanks for joining in!
