(limerick)My Son Appears In Act Two Only

My son Brad has been one of the troop
With the Gilbert and Sullivan group
For a number of years
They are all volunteers
Seems this year he is out of the loop

When I heard of the change in effect
I considered it one of neglect
He has a strong voice
Has played roles of his choice
But he does act two only, correct?

Well I thought as proud parent I might
Question the wisdom of this oversight
But upon discovery...
(I must try a recovery) ...
'The Mikado' was his and he did it just right.

Fun multiple limerick. I'm glad you explained in your poet note about the Mikado. I have never seen it and would never have known that fact. Poet notes are the best thing about Poem Hunter. I hate how they keep adding those annoying soundtracks to my poems, so now I put Spanish, Portuguese or gibberish in the poem area and put the real poem where the notes are supposed to go!

I'm not a fan of the stage, but remain a fan of your limericks.
