Limerick.32.Glutton

Rating: 5.0


On the lad, they had put all the blame
He hung his head in shame
He was called a glutton
For gobbling some mutton
Poor lad, this was all that was his crime

Nice funny rhymes. Next time the lad should be advised not to gobble any mutton, but of course he is at liberty to gobble chicken, pork etc. Anyway his gobbling of mutton has helped Valsa ma'am to write these humorous lines. So my thanks goes out to him!

Poor lad so innocent that he cannot hide his feelings. No one looked at his innocence, but everyone blamed him as if he committed some crime. Another beautiful poem Valsa. Loved it.

One can't control hunger. Poor lad has done so. Is it his crime? This poem is composed in a humours way. Beautifully executed. Five stars.

The glaring Limerick points to the poverty of the and hunger of the small boy to whom the flavour of the dish might have been a temptation. The significance is that you have made it a super Limerick as charming as the taste of the dish...10
