Limerick- Placard Poem by Valsa George

Limerick- Placard

Rating: 5.0


He got down from the train with his baggage
Walked out through a dirty soiled passage
His attention was captured
By a bold lettered Placard;
‘KEEP THE TOWN CLEAN' atop piles of garbage

Hey! How did you get ME in the photo? ? ? ! I'd call it (not " a baggage" ;) " a suitcase" . I'm NOT trying to make you " LOSE face" . The photo, it sure does 'stink'. Now I'm almost out of 'ink', I'll leave before you can BLINK! Not bad. Both of them. bri ;))

The picture, Valsa, underscores the irony of the limerick. This one flows well. A suggestion: “his” baggage to my ear would sound more colloquial than “a” baggage. -Glen
