In a village, lived a sworn miser
Earning more and more was his sole desire
Ate nothing, to save money
Soon he became so scrawny
In the end, lay useless as a flat tire
A sad tale no use ending up the richest corpse on the funeral pyre
Limerick with a profound message enclosed. Thank you for sharing.
If earnings are more and expenditure is too more then there is problem. In such condition a man cannot save money for future. If earnings are more and there is no saving, then the misery comes slowly and poverty is seen. An amazing Limerick is well versed. This gives fun but great lesson is to learn from this...5 stars..,
i've sent you a message about the above. At least the miser had a toilet nearby, not that he'd need it for " poo" , as the guy needed one in your 4-year old poem: Limerick- 85. Embarrassment by Valsa George bri :)
This is humor at its best. Sadness of situation still leaves a smile thinking we all are responsible for the outcome brought upon by our actions.
greed to earn money makes mad the mind wherever goes life becomes unkind if we don't care about health all will be useless though wealth Health is wealth- as proverb that's why we find
Wonderful Limerick............thank u, dear poetess......anjandev roy.
A wonderful limerick with a great message. Middle course is the best course; neither misery, nor extravagance. Loved the comments of Susan Williams and Paul Brookes.
When all a person finds attractive is money, they never lived until they died. They were the walking dead amid a grey and joyless country. Shiver! That is an awful waste of the gift of life. Top marks, Valsa!
