Limerick Story – Four Verses

Yesterday a comma came to my door

A colon offered to sweep my living room floor

None of this made any sense

I looked out and saw an apostrophe leap my fence

After all this a period brought itself to the fore

I must admit I have writer’s block

That’s why punctuation came to my door to flock

They wanted merely to come to my aid

All they found were my pages filleted

What I’d written so far was just drivel and a crock

My idea for a mystery came to naught

The killer was way too early caught

The whole story ended way too soon

And why did I make the culprit an obvious goon

In the way of suspense there was not a lot

The punctuation arrived just in time

I have a neat house and my tale’s beginning to shine

Some of my commas have got to go

And all the apostrophe’s* in plurals are a no no

The periods say that readers dislike rhyme

*apostrophe added for effect, and “poetic” license.

Nothing to do with the post, I just like the photo.   😊
