Limerick.16. Sour Grapes Poem by Valsa George

Limerick.16. Sour Grapes



An old man met a sweet girl of seventeen
Whom he hoped could marry in her teen
He asked-'Can we dance'
She curtly said 'No chance'
He quipped- 'If you wish, I amn't keen'

you garnered (a word i 'never' use) some fine comments, especially the ones i considered clever. i especially liked the one from Tirupathi Chandrupatla (8/14/2014) . i believe this IS a limerick. not bad. of course i could do better! :) :) thanks for sharing. you are one of my favorites, Valsa. but you already know that. :) bri - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - p.s. i might add: He persisted: My sweet, shall we then go to bed? , to which she replied, NO! old man. Go drop DEAD! But he stopped NOT his attempts to woo the cute girl, saying Come now, my young lady, give me a whirl.
