Late Limerick
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\n

A fellow was late for his train.
\nBeing tardy was always his bane.
\nIn his youth and his prime
\nHe was rarely on time,
\nWhich drove his whole fam’ly insane.<\/p>\n

After years of his lateness, his mate
\nLost her mind — she was way past irate.
\nUsing all of her might
\nShe beat him for spite.
\nNow that fellow’s eternally late. <\/p>\n

Please feel free to write your own limerick using the same first line and post it in my comments. And if you\u2019re on Facebook, I hope you\u2019ll join my friends in that same activity in my Facebook Limerick-Off post.<\/a><\/p>\n

To receive an email alert whenever I post a new Limerick-Off, please send me an email requesting the alerts. You\u2019ll find my email address on the upper right sidebar, right above my photo. Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
