Pointing to the sky, said one- “A loon”
“No”- said the other- “It’s a heron”
The argument ran thus
Amid the aged, unwise
But both were wrong, it was a balloon
Ha ha ha.........There is no end to an argument better resolve it amicably, nice satire in your limerick, I enjoy them thoroughly...Thanks for sharing.
Heron and loon turn out to be a balloon.. it's a great ending, though there is no ending of such funny arguments. Loved it.10
aged are not all wise; but most are argumentative.nicely captured in this lovely limerick!
I recollect an Urdu humorist who described an abstract painting. He asked a woman standing with him and watching the painting, Is it a water melon? She replied, You can say, it's sweet and soft skinned, nice to kill the thirst, but it's a woman.
Ha.... ha..! This is so interesting Akhtar ji! A modern abstract painting can be interpreted in any manner. Yes, opinions can widely differ!
Great Limerick beautifully composed and delivered with humour and panache!

Quite amusing argument and possibly indulged in by aged people for the sake of argument only. Obstinacy inducted with ageing takes it's toll many a times and such people enter into argument knowing fully well that they may be wrong. Enjoyed the limerick. Thanks for sharing.10 points.
