Limerick: The Bank Robber

Rating: 5.0


There was once a sly robber named Lyle
Who, after robbing a bank in style,
Sawed the legs off his bed
And then solemnly said:
I just want to lie low for a while.

You just might succeed in turning me into a lover of limericks [not an easy task]! I loved the smoooooth rhythm and rhyme of this piece and the great big laugh that last line gave me! ! You get a galaxy of stars for this! ! ! Now I think I'll take a look at another limerick from you! 10

The poem begins: 'There was once a sly robber named Lyle Who, after robbing a bank in style, ' (in case a 'black box' blocked them)

I never get blocked by a black box. I wonder why you have that trouble, but thanks for reading and commenting, Bri!

'There was once a sly robber named Lyle'....That's about how the first line reads, but I had to click on 'Download image of this poem' (below poem) to read the first line. : (
