I was awake at midnight last weekend when MadKane posted her new Limerick-Off prompt. I thought I was going to be the first one to post my limerick but I was only able to write the first four lines that night and ended up posting it Sunday afternoon. I'm still not completely satisfied with the last line-my first two tries were too long syllable-wise; this one has a slightly better rhythm and syllable count, but still isn't my favorite way to end it.
This week's first line is:
A fellow would frequently treat
or
A woman would frequently treat
Luckily, we're allowed to modify the first line just a bit, as I subbed in "lady" for "woman":
A lady would frequently treat
Her man to a rub of the feet.
But returning the favor,
he didn’t quite savor,
To change his mind would be quite a feat.
I think I should've used "take" instead of "be" but I already submitted it to MadKane's site on Sunday so I'll keep it the same here.
I actually meant to write this up on Sunday but forgot. You still have a day or so to join in the fun, and a new limerick-off starts on Sunday.
Thanks so much for joining in with your fun limerick. You (and your friends) are always welcome. :)
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy reading your limericks, Rachael! I tried one earlier this month for #NaBloPoMo, but I thought it was cheesy and not very funny. Well, I'll keep practicing. :)
