Like Goat's False Teats

Rating: 5.0


He that hails evil ‘pon this good earth,
Earns means nor yet merits,
Nor good deeds inherits,
Vain, worthless upon earth be his birth,
Like goat's false teats on neck— of no worth.

This poem stands for a limerick that can also be really meaningful and truth speaking unlike the usual definition of humour or nonsense for a limerick...interesting

Thank you Valsa George, I am not repeating the note on Limericks in all my 'Words well said' series, but I think Limericks is a very versatile form open to varied treatment. You might like to read it. You have made a very valid point.

You are absolutely right. It was my point that Limericks began their life as pieces/poems humorous in nature, or even leg-pulling type. But they are quite versatile in their constructions. They enable even more lines than the standard five, as in one and a half limerick or even a double one. What is important they brilliantly carry on their able shoulders even serious thoughts equally effortlessly. I would welcome your comments.
