Bri Edwards Had A Splinter In His Finger! ...[ Limericks

Rating: 4.3

Poem # 1

I got a splinter in my ' Ring-Finger '.
I prayed it would NOT Long-Linger,
tried an antibiotic;
my Finger got necrotic**.
So I became an Ice Cream Binger***! !


Poem # 2

Ice Cream helped me to ignore....
most of the pain I had before,
BUT my teeth all did rot;
some fell out on the spot.
My smile, all did then deplore!


Poem # 3


I went to see a dental surgeon.
I thought she was a Vestal Virgin****.
She pulled out all my teeth.
[ Finger fell off: a RELIEF! ! ]
[ At first I survived on eggs of sturgeon. ]


Poem # 4

I asked the surgeon out on a date.
We went to a movie, staying out LATE,
I found she was NO virgin!
She had NO sex-aversion! !
Our child just-born was Number' EIGHT!


Poem # 5

Sooooooooooooooo, .....

If in YOUR finger you find a splinter,
be it Spring, Summer, Fall, ...or Winter,
skip 'To-God'-supplications!
Skip needless complications! !
To 'Emergency' GO like a SPRINTER*****! ! !

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I truly believe I have/had a splinter, but it IS or WAS in my left middle finger, is a little sore, just a little bit, and it feels as though a small object (which doesn't belong in my finger) is in there! But 'I Will Survive' [ a song sung my Gloria Gaynor (and others I'm sure) years ago) ]. bri :)

Though the pain did linger in the finger, Bri did survive and is still alive!
