I once saw many goats in a tree,
And I asked myself, how can that be?
Is my brain on the loose?
Is he here, Doctor Seuss?
Is my cranium full of debris?
:) I remember seeing this picture somewhere...Argan Oil - the promise of youth! A great limerick!
Ah, This is so cool! .. And interesting to know! .. Awesome! .. Definite Definite 5 Stars! ..++++++++++++++++++++
i vote for debris. fruits AND NUTS! COULD IT BE? goats and fruits AND NUTS..........in the tree? ! ! ! maybe not only is it a photo-shopped photo [see another's comments below], but Kim's brain has also been photo-shopped? ? hmm. not sure i'd want pooped-from-goats oil on my salad. bri ;) thanks for the Poet's Notes. but, how can one be sure [see other comments again] that this is the SAME PHOTO? ? ? aren't there at least two trees left in Morocco?
Bri, I used to use my laptop to post poems to Poem Hunter, especially while we were in Brazil. However, now that we are home, I usually use my desktop computer. The day I wrote my poem, I knew that I had a photo of goats in a tree stored on my laptop (it had probably been stored there since we were in Brazil) , but I was using the desktop that day and didn't feel like starting up the laptop just to get that photo, so I just did a Google search for goats in a tree and that's when I learned all about the goats in Morocco. Up until then, I didn't know if the picture had been photo-shopped or not, either. If you do the same Google search that I did, you will see many different pictures of the goats in the trees. I tried to pick the best one. I have still never checked to see if it is the same as the one stored on my laptop or not.
A goat in a tree...fantastic limerick, Kim! i deem you king of the limericks!
Thanks, Theo. Check out Wes Vogler and Kelly Kurt. They have some really good ones, too. Wes is the one who told me that I should write more limericks.
Thank you for the limerick and thank you for passing on some background to that picture. I have seen the photo before but I thought it had been photo-shopped. What an intriguing history!
Another great limerick. I almost used that picture in my poem: Farm Animals #5 (Limerick) . Then I found one with a dog hugging a goat. It was too cute to resist.

I would like to translate this poem
A lovely limerick. I'm delighted to read it. Thanks for sharing.10
