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

Liked the Limerick very much for its powerful punch. Such irony is significant in a society that rely on hypocrisy for false publicity. It's one of your best Limericks. Tony poem

How are we cleaning the passage is so nicely painted in a satiric manner. The graphic provided by you is so interesting which increases the irony. Gorgeous work. Five stars.
