An ambitious woman once said
Tis better to lead than be led
But with no-one to follow
Her pride she must swallow
On bitterest truth is she fed
A deluded woman believed
That she helped all the people she grieved
The mirror would lie
Should she glance walking by
So no message of truth was received
Both these women should really beware
Tis a virtue to be self-aware
But if this they postpone
They will wind up alone
When there’s nobody left here to care

Funny and wise: a great combo well written.
Thanks so much!!! really appreciated! π π
I find limericks tough because there is a lyricism to them that my naturally disjointed often creepy poems just don’t have lol You have done a fantastic job with it, they have humor but they are meaningful and full of content as well!
Thanks s much…I tend to neglect limericks as a form for the most part, but they are really fun to write in the end. π
I really haven’t tried limericks save for once, I neglect them to but I think they are a very charming form just the same!
π I love it!!!
