Limerick- Dutiful Guard Poem by Valsa George

Limerick- Dutiful Guard

Rating: 5.0


In the village was a large farmhouse
A dog was put to guard the house
When people come near
It would shrink back in fear
But would dart at the sight of a mouse!

Nice one, Valsa! We have a resident mouse in our house at the moment. Very disconcerting to hear 'rustle rustle' in the night. I think we need that dog...

Unfortunately he won't be let out Laurie! He is in great demand! You may look for a mouse trap....! Laurie! Appreciate your sense of humor!

This Limerick carries humor with due substance…. On the one hand, the dog is meek to guard human interference to the farmhouse but on the other hand he is powerful enough to see that no mouse dares to move around the farmhouse! The brilliant picture depicts his stature, courage and bravery that his owner should applaud! Enjoyed! !

It's a poem on a watchdog and mouse but I see it as a poem on a policeman and enjoy it.

I have a fat cat quite friendly with mice With them around she’ll be overly nice But a dog she will bite And that with much delight So dear Valsa, I need your advice Thanks for the fun my friend

We live in very strange times When people ally with foes Animals follow suit And travel man’s route All natural laws thus they depose! Thanks for the great fun, my friend Loke!

This is really very amazingly drafted fun giving Limerick. Dog shrinks in fear and this is symbolized with a crazy photograph. Large farmhouse was guarded by this amazing dog. Excellently penned poem is shared here.10
