Limerick- Malapropism

Rating: 5.0


The Science teacher told his eager class
Alas, I can't read without my eye glass
In rest room, left my testicles
(What he meant was ‘spectacles')
The children broke into laughter en mass

After a long time, I have had a burst of laughter. Thanks a lot, Valsa ji. We have not seen you for quite some time.

Glad to know I could give you a hilarious moment. I was away on a US trip for a month. After coming back, I got so busy putting the house back to order. So I don’t have much time to spare for the writing of poetry! Turning to limericks is less time consuming and easier to write! Appreciate your comments on my limericks and thanks a lot Rajinish sir for them!

A good laugh has a place everywhere, even in a field of head and heart like poetry. And Limerick has vast potential, even in areas of serious subject matter, as I often use. Thanks for sharing.
