A brazen young lady from Iver,
drove as naked as Lady Godiva,
when they saw her behind,
all the fella’s went blind,
causing a smash with not one survivor.
When the coppers rolled up at the scene,
they counted the dead as fifteen,
in their dash, which was rash,
missed the cause of the crash,
as the lady drove on quite unseen.
The young lady had covered her tracks,
as the coppers lacked several facts,
she drove on undressed,
to make known her protest,
at the bare cheek of rising road tax.
Author notes
Chain Limerick
Iver is a village in Buckinghamshire, England.
Lady Godiva, an Anglo-Saxon noble woman, is reputed to have ridden naked through the streets of Coventry to gain remission from high taxation.

this is great... i don't how to write limericks. ha. thanks for sharing.
-
Although excellent in its entirity this poem trancends the bounds of a five line limerick so cannot win anything
I will however give the clappys for effort
-
Excellent, with the flow of a true Limerick or should I say triple Limerick.
-
Craftily done, poet! Congratulations on the Bronze!
-
Excellent three versed limerick I love this form of poetry But then i love humour in poetry anyway Far to many poets take this pastime to serious Well done
-
hahahahahhahahaha!!!!! I love it. It's so fun, and light hearted. Most accidents are usually sad and dreary. Godo write my friend.

This is fabulous, I loved the flow and the referance to Lady Godiva fits in perfectly. A brazen young lady from Iver,
drove as naked as Lady Godiva,
when they saw her behind,
all the fella’s went blind,
causing a smash with not one survivor. This part caught my attetion and had me captivated from the start. Thanks for entering and the best of luck to you. -
tee hee very cute it made me smile which is good cause I was upset thanks for this
-
I can just imagine the scene. Creative :)
-
I am quite familiar with the limerick, Iver and Lady Godiva... [I just love her chocolates]...
I'm ONLY kidding, I know who she is, but just couldn't resist my own sense of humor. ~ 15 dead... my assumption is Lady Godiva kept driving along, never to be seen by the cops. [coppers]. You made this a fun exciting reader even though it's in result of a terrible accident. -- [Does that make me 'slightly' demented? ]
Thanks so much for entering the contest, it was a welcome pleasure to read and review your work,
Best of luck to you....

Great fun to read my friend, I'll have to visit Iver and see if she repeats her drive. Well done!
-
LOL!! A CLASIC LIMERICK, INDEED - SWEETIE!
Something tells me that lovely lady should have tanned her buns before driving with her assets (pun intended) showing! HE! HE! My eyes ore often drawn to a fine fillies rear - so I know what these poor fellows went through! I just hope that none of them were seriously injured - and no one hurt their tallywackers, too! After giving The Finger with both hands to my place of employment for the next 14 days - this is just what The Doctor ordered and more, Lily!
Peace & Love!
Earl.

One of the better limericks I have read, and truly funny, which is a requirement of all limericks. Good job!
-
LMAO! I think we should all do this and make a protest about rising prices in general. Wonderful Limerick and a pleasure to read. Definately got your point across, as did the lady herself.

Fun, Fun, Fun
This lady, the driver from Iver,
had a hubby dubbed Ivor MacGyver,
whose ivory teeth
were discovered beneath
the rum scrum with none left alive ah !
-
A good triplet of limericks telling a story and putting a point across...much like Lady Godiva!
This was fun to read, well done Sue.
Sue
