OK, I could have written "ewe" instead of "sheep" in line 2.

Cleverly written, John. I like the "respect her" and "nectar" rhyme.

JOHN BECK Apr 16, 2012, 12:32am UTC

You're quick, Kim. Thanks.

I love limericks...! A great twist on Isaiah

Sonia, limericks are the challenge form for today at Mindful Poetry. I bet we'll have at least two dozen entries for the contest. Maybe yours?

I will see if my muse will come up with something before the end of the day...it its still the 15th here... !

Thank you, Susan...

The Biblical reference makes this a juicy metaphor.

So happy to see you start us off, Johnny-on-the-spot poet! You set a good example of the meter I'm hoping to see today.

Relax, you’ve made the deadline, now appearing at Mindful Poetry.

Was the lion referring to the Book of Lamb Recipes?

JOHN BECK Apr 16, 2012, 6:20am UTC

Thanks, Magi.

I have no idea where you come up with some of your ideas, John. Nice one.

Thanks for sharing with Biblical Truths at the Triple Name Club.

Love it! It's surprising how fresh a limerick can be when you step away from the "there once was..." and, how fresh Scripture can be when retold in a different for. Just brilliant (and not words I thought I'd use describing a limerick).
