Limerick-74- Fruit Picking

Rating: 5.0


To pick berry, Jane n' Joe went down the dale
On Joe's face, there was a wicked smile
Gathering a bag of berry
He stole away in hurry
Left alone, poor Jane began to wail

Gathering a bag of berry in hurry shows wise imagery of busy harvesting. This is also very nicely penned fantastic limerick shared which reflect daily life.10

That's the story of childhood when everyone is naughty. I asked Joe to explain his conduct and he told me that Jane was so cute and innocent that even if caught by the gardener she will not be punished.

Awww.. Poor Jane.. It's always like that, when going gets tough your accomplice abandons you.. A laugh and a meditation at the same time.. Wondeful limmerick Valsa ma'am.. Thank you for sharing..

i like it and it goes to MyPoemList, BUT our minds work much differently: like night 'n' day. Fruit Picking.....By Bri To pick berry, Jane n' Joe went down the dale, and for an hour, with berries, filled a big pail. But Joe was, and Jane was so cute, and soon Jane was only in her birthday suit. Now and then each would chew upon a berry, but before too long, Joe took Jane's tender 'cherry'. ...bad-boy-bri :)

Yikes........! ! ! ! You have spoiled the whole innocence of the situation! Perverted minds can think only in perverted terms! You really deserve to be beaten up for polluting this site! Though grown old, still you are a 'wicked boy'!

Love means peace; but, stealing leads to hatred. Nice work.
