I challenged myself to write a sugary romance using just 8 limericks. This is the result |
A LOVE STORY IN EIGHT LIMERICKS I first met my girl in the park She thought it was only a lark But I turned on my charms and opened my arms And we cuddled until it was dark She’s sexy and funny and smart With looks that could break a man’s heart The love bug had bitten I was totally smitten I hoped this was only the start. I stole my first kiss in the car She said, “I can see that you are getting very excited, you’ve not been invited, so don’t try to take this too far.” We broke up with anger and tears Confirming the worst of my fears I’d been moving too fast It just couldn’t last, but I want to be with her for years “I don’t want to lose my sweet Jill. I'll go much more slowly, I will." “I missed you,” she said “Just take me to bed, don’t worry, I’m now on the pill.” We moved in together in May I’ll always remember that day As cooking and cleaning for me had no meaning, dear Jill had to show me the way. I proposed to my sweetheart in June She said, “Well, let’s make it real soon.” It was so hard to wait ‘til we both set the date And then I was over the moon. Our wedding day dawned fine and clear Unusual for that time of year. When he said, “Kiss the bride,” I was trembling inside But our families all started to cheer. |
