Limerick.64. Argument Poem by Valsa George

Limerick.64. Argument

Rating: 5.0


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

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.

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

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!
