Limerick.16. Sour Grapes Comments

He asked-'Can we dance' She curtly said 'No chance'......He quipped- 'If you wish, I amn't keen'.....amusing expression. Brilliant Limirick. Enjoyed.

Haha... the old man has a last laugh... i wonder how the teen girl feels

you garnered (a word i 'never' use) some fine comments, especially the ones i considered clever. i especially liked the one from Tirupathi Chandrupatla (8/14/2014) . i believe this IS a limerick. not bad. of course i could do better! :) :) thanks for sharing. you are one of my favorites, Valsa. but you already know that. :) bri - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - p.s. i might add: He persisted: My sweet, shall we then go to bed? , to which she replied, NO! old man. Go drop DEAD! But he stopped NOT his attempts to woo the cute girl, saying Come now, my young lady, give me a whirl.

Hahaha! enjoyed the poem. Very witty.

avoidance with negation and the heading sour grapes by fox a fox call - If only you wish, I am not keen thanks

Ha Ha Ha.... very intelligently defended the negation. So nice! ! !

A fine satire which spreads my lips

There are two more years to try. Nice Limerick.

If only you wish I am not keen......fantastic write........I loved it so much.......thanks for sharing.....Valsa

Beautiful poem Valsa. What a beautiful and humble way of telling... He quipped- If only you wish, I am not keen This is really fantastic. Dinesh Sir comment quiet interesting....Smiles...

Valsa I loved your poem. Though the grapes are not all sour, a few sweet ones are always present in a clutch of plenty.

An interesting write, but in a western society a father may dance with her daughter.

Maybe, he can make one more attempt and she may agree to dance! Miracles are there madam, so the grapes need not remain sour ever! Perhaps, you needed this pace of writing..

nice to see the old man holding onto his dignity.
