Judith Marks-White has become one of the very few good limericists showcased at AWAD, but rarely does moderator Anu Garg publish more than one of her submissions. She sent me all 5 of hers last week. Here are my three favorites (AWADs underlined:)
The old cook told his sous chef, “Don’t broil;
Take this fish which is starting to spoil.
Throw it into a pan
'Til it turns slightly tan
But be sure not to burn, just parboil."
The grande dame had an affect inglorious,
With a mad reputation notorious.
Though by day she seemed quite
So demure and polite
Every night she was most amatorious.
Our Miss Molly, a gun moll prestigious,
Behaved in a way most egregious.
As she wielded a gun
Claiming, "Simply for fun,"
Coldly murdered on whims most capricious.
I replied,
I'm enamored of your full barrage!
Glad you didn't leave them en garage.
Your limericks wholly
Are perfect and jolie
No way would I say, "Quel dommage."
