An eager young flautist from Crewe
Used to practise his scales in the loo,
While his father and mother
Two sisters and brother
Danced outside in an agonised queue!

Not my favourite style of poetry, but very well written and the fact that it made me giggle is a definate plus. Thankyou for entering

This is hilarious. I know I read this in the past and commented, but I enjoyed it again, so I figured it deserved another comment. Congrats on the gold trophy.

Dear Vera,
John here! Or Lou! Or whatever my friends call me these days.
Hope you are on the mend and feeling weller.
At first I thought this was your own contest and then got conscious again.
The link below is to the only Limerick I've written in my entire life. So I guess I can rightfully say that it is the most hilarious one too!
I keep you in my thoughts and prayers, no charge, and look for you on the site when I'm on. I know that He/She is listening to me because praying for me is such an anomaly it shouldn't be missed, not in this world or that one.
Be well, and thanks for keeping Rule 65 well and alive!
