Two lovers secretly planned on a ‘date'
They agreed to meet at dead of the night
Into darkness, as they stole
Fell into a deep manhole
There they stayed all night packed so tight!
There they stayed all night packed so tight! .......here is the essence of the poem which provides immense pleasure. Beautifully composed. My pleasure reading it time and again.
Oh ho ho manhole rules on two sweet loving soul in jaw of town bowl! //// nice funny writings
What an unexpected end! Hope they lived to see the day...
Witty and funny! Feels good to read again your well-crafted limericks!
For some, the ideal 'date'. The humour really comes through, Valsa. Very much appreciated.
I haven't seen a funnier limerick about the pleasures of being in the 'underworld'. Thanks, Valsa ji.
A limerick that says all limericks are not slap-stick, an enjoyable goodly read. And I notice two things; one, we both use limericks in different ways. Second, I too started writing poems only after 2000. Till then, ever since my Times of India days, I wrote serious non-fiction and the analytical stuff thru articles for Economic Times and other publications. But nothing can beat poetry.
It was as if they had deliberately planned their date inside a dark manhole, away from the prying eyes of curious cats! You have transformed a mere manhole to a romantic rendezvous.Lovely limerick!
This made me chuckle! A pleasure to read. Thanks, Valsa, for posting this.
