I haven't written in a while and sorry bout that. Thanksgiving is to blame as is wedding stuff. Today's poem is actually three snippets from the Book of Nonsense by Edward Lear. All three snippets are limericks. AABBA.
Limerick=Light Humor. It's practically a fact. I don't know of any limericks that have a harder or darker edge.
These poems don't mean much. They are, after all, nonsense. However, they do, at least, give mini portraits of three denizens of this nonsensical world (which may very well be our own).
Favorite line: "There was an Old Man in a tree,/Who was horribly bored by a Bee"
