(limerick) And Not Only That #1 by Wes Vogler
Fish (Senryu Series)Kelly Kurt
Tuna Kelly
With mayo on rye
Polluted with mercury
Chicken of the sea
Tuna WES
I found tuna's an 'aunt' anagram
Sometimes fifty years old they get, Maam
They are worth lots of money
They are also called 'Tunny'
Fifteen feet in length, often, they am
Piranha Kelly
Daggered dentition
Amazonian killers
Swim at your own risk
Piranha WES
Don't go lookin' for these guys in pools
Learn your lessons in other type 'schools'
Drop In Meat... by my troth...
It will vanish in froth
I once had a pet 'pir' but it drools
Goldfish Kelly
Tiny baked crackers
Temporary household pet
Toilet funerals
GoldfishWES
When they're found belly-up that is it
Do not then... like my sis... have a fit
Their life span is short
And by brother's report
They're not fit for a sandwich a bit
Sharks Kelly
Lords of the oceans
Four-hundred million years old
Massacred for fins
Sharks WES
The Great White one can bite through a raft
Go you swimming with one you are daft
But you always were numb
All in all, total sum...
Go ahead and just do it this aft
Catfish Kelly
Barbed bottom feeders
I never heard one meow
Internet scammer
Catfish WES
Protoge on the Amos and Andy progam
So you now know 'bout how old I am
Long-whiskered and scary
And hideously hairy
Can we talk about Angelfish, Sam?
Angelfish Kelly
Tropical beauties
Aquarium Seraphim
Lively triangles
Angelfish WES
It's an annagrammatical FLESHGAIN
(fatties gaining in weight will have fresh pain)
Gotten carried away
So wottaya say?
For some rhymes we need us a mesh brain
Manta Ray Kelly
Relatives of sharks
Winged underwater fliers
Meek plankton eaters
Manta Ray WES
They're the symbol of Florida's 'Marlins'
That's a baseball affiliate, darlins
They're the Bluejays nemesis
Those pesky young menaces
They should 'dopt something nice.. maybe starlins
Eels Kelly
Fin deprived swimmers
Predatory cylinders
Amazon shockers
Eels WES
Well if only those things would keep still
'Cause a bowlful of eels fails to thrill
Well they do have a use
As a form of abuse
Chase my sister and list to her shrill
SeahorsesKelly
Males carry the young
Chinese impotence treatment
Vertical swimmers
SeahorsesWES
Love to watch the seahorses a-swimming
All amongst the waves billowy brimming
But finally at night
As they fade out of sight
I am saddened at ultimate dimming
I laughed out loud two or three times while reading this! Very entertaining!
Incredibly creative and funny! I will have to try writing a few more of these series.
SUPERB! ! ! ! Your turned wonderful senryu into humorous limerick, commendable job. Enjoyed it.
