My neighbor's little son is so smart
In a write up on Grandparents, he wrote
"They never seem to hurry,
Any time, can tell a story

well, my friend, i like the story, and the kid's willingness to 'share' his grandparents' lives with his classmates, but..... how YOUNG would a kid be if s/he really thought (real) gums and teeth were removed? [esp. gums] and i think your treatment as a limerick is below par, especially for you! you must need me to give you some remedial lessons. when are you available? ? bri ;)
Children observe things more keenly than we elders do. Their comments and stories are sometimes so amusing! The picture too is so funny! I liked it. 'No one can withstand the ravages of time! - So well said, I quoted the words from your reply to one of the readers' comments.
This is a really wonderful limerick ma'am. Children say the stupidest thing, but boy oh boy, if anything else is more beautiful than those brats at work! Thanks for sharing this: -)
So full of laughter in its innocence. You gave voice to those sweet little observations of children.
That's so cute. A child's innocence is the best humor we can get. Children are funny in an innocent, winning way.
Great limerick from the viewpoint of children. Yes, they are very keen observers.
Thank you Captain! Yes, children observe what we elders fail to notice!
Hey, Valsa. You'll be getting Wes Vogler jealous! Humour is at its best when true and this lovely Limerick ticks all the boxes. By the way, thanks for your comments on my Fountain poem. My Reply button doesn't work so I'll take this opportunity to thank you. This one's going into my favourites' list!
How can this puny writer of 'limerick' make Wes Vogler- the king of limericks feel jealous...? However, thank you for this compliment, Tom!
The End: If you regard your limerick consists of the AABBA rhyming, then that will suffice. After all this limerick is utmost hilarious, Valsa. The picture is an excellent photograph. Thank you so much for sharing. I have enjoyed a very lot.
Dear Valsa, is this an exceptional non-rhyming limerick? Only the third and fourth lines are shorter and rhyming. Please, do not regard this as a critic from me, but I cannot find the first, second and the fifth lines rhyming, perhaps you have only the T in mind, but must that not rhyme with smart and so on? The third and fourth lines have their own rhymes and are shorter, they are OK. Aside from my nagging, this is a most hilarious limerick.
There are perfect rhymes and 'near rhymes'. Perfect rhyming sometimes becomes difficult, especially in a limerick! I feel 'near rhymes' will do! However thanks Sylvia for your opinion! I respect it! Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful imaginary. Beautifully captured the humorous poem with funny picture. Enjoyed with photo provided. Thanks.
Thank you so much Kumaramani sir! I am happy you enjoyed the limerick!
A hilarious poem, cleverly written. Thanks for sharing, Valsa.
A humorous limerick with a humorous picture...another golden feather on your limerick crown Valsa....10++
So happy that my limericks are enjoyed by light minded people like you! Thanks a lot Indira madam!
Oh Old age! you've come touched my body snatched away everything even with hard part of human- the teeth! /// fun timing between grandpa with grand child excellent LIMERICk
Yes, age attacks everyone....! No one can withstand the ravages of time! Thanks Mahtab for your poetic and lovely comment!
Wow! An amazing little poem! Enjoyed the humor! Thanks dear madam for sharing......10
Yes, children are great observers. Mostly they wouldn't comment but question inside. Adults need to observe care about many things do before children. Thanks for sharing.
Quite true.....! Children observe so much, though they won't tell it out! Thank you sir!
Valsa, this is funny but is not in the form of a limerick.++10
Thank you for finding this as funny! About its form, I am sure I have followed all the rules.... the first two lines should rhyme, so also the middle two lines! A limerick is a form of verse, often humorous and sometimes obscene, in five-line, predominantly anapestic meter with a strict rhyme scheme of AABBA, in which the first, second and fifth line rhyme, while the third and fourth lines are shorter and share a different rhyme.
This really put a smile on my face! Smart and humorous! Love it!
