Limerick-Off Monday
Click on the headline for this week's Limerick-Off Monday at Mad Kane's.
My limerick for the prompt "A man who was proud of his clout". I have to say this one came pretty easy :) I'm going to see if I can come up with more. Possibly with a gal who was proud of her clout, too.
A man who was proud of his clout
Did challenge Mohd Ali to a quick bout;
Alas for him, Cassius Clay
(As he was known in his day)
With one punch knocked him clean out.
And another (the gal didn't quite make it!):
A man who was proud of his clout
Thought he needed to standout;
He giggled and preened,
And boasted and queened -
But ev’ryone thought he’d at last come out.
And yet again - the gal made it! (I'm on a roll!):
A gal who was proud of her clout
When ignored, was inclined to pout.
At every party she’d complain,
Drinking far too much champagne -
Until, irritated, they threw her out.
Somebody stop me!:
A man who was proud of his clout
Was honestly a bit of a lout.
He would bully and tease
Imagining he was the bee’s knees -
But socially he was a washout.

Thanks so much for your fun contribution to this week's Limerick-Off!
I'm looking forward to reading more of them. :)
Getting better by the (Mon)day!
Keep at it "gal"!
Sorry couldn't resist:
A man who was proud of his clout unfortunately was rarely seen about
he conducted his work so subtle and slow
that it wasn’t much of a show
So his real worthiness was in much doubt
Anu! That was really GOOOOD! Have you posted your limerick on Madeleine's blog? If you havent, you should. Damn, but yours "flows" so effortlessly! :)
