Limerick- Mediocrity Poem by Valsa George

Limerick- Mediocrity

Rating: 5.0


There lived a man with the name Nero
He wasn't another Nero nor a hero
He was only as bright
As the dim candle light
In practical skills, he was a zero

He wasn't another Nero nor a hero but his name was Nero! He was a zero bot thought himself hero. A brilliant perceptive fun giving Limerick is wonderfully penned.

Brilliant, Valsa...and hilarious. Why do the zeros always seem to float to the top....no substance, lighter than air? ? This gem goes to myfavourites.

It is getting harder and harder to find a hero these days in positions of political power- -but that is alright- I love the everyday people who are heroes in that they extend a helping hand to their fellow man out of brotherly love! ! ! 10++

you have me reading limericks- but only yours so far- -I like the intelligent air about yours- -you are quite an inspiration for us non-limerick writers!

This seriously made me laugh. The historical reference made in this limerick takes this to a new level. Glad that this Nero is not a tyrant as his namesake was.

Your limericks always make me smile, Valsa. Also, you follow the rules of limerick writing strictly most of the time, and so your limericks are, to me, worth reading and learning from. I have observed that you always mention about the syllables in the 'Poet's Notes'. That's a good practice that helps the readers.

Wonderful limerick crafted with ease and wit. Amazingly humorous and very entertaining. It is hard if we got zero when it comes to practical skills.. Another excellent write. Onto my Poem List.
