Promptly Susan - Challenge #17 - Limerick




 

 

Follow me, I'm famous, don't fidget; I love the sea,
In a terrible funk, I know this is where I want to be
Got back to the house
Forgot my spouse
But went anyway, pitched a tent, I'm free by the sea.

mn - 2011

Looks like fun.
Limericks are fun. The photo threw me off on this one. Do one!
Five lines - ryhme is AABBA, the two B lines are usually shorter than the others. Susan's group, Prompty Susan.

You are a writing maven these days, Mare.

Thank you for working the prompt at PromptlySusan
Trying.. I wrote at least three limericks and realized not one of them went with the photo and I really LIKE the photo :)
