had a good laugh and learned a new word flopper thank you Ragnish
Wow poet u know how to write limericks too? Super fun rhyme word choice n leaves us giggling with laughter. I find limericks very hard to compose. Maybe I should try hard one day. Thumbs up n thanx.
My very dear friend Rajnish. Please pardon the effrontey of my suggested Anglicised re-write of your excellent limerick. (Incidentally, finding a rhyme for the words 'daughter' and 'slaughter' was a challenge finally coming to Potter in Nebraska, USA) It was not a difficult task to find a rhythm, (da da dum.. da da dum .. da da dum) and I believe it can now be sung easily. thus: father-in-law: 'Tomorrow we both go to Potter, Finding MATCH there for MY youngest daughter' son-in-law: ' But WOULD it be proper, sir, As I'm also a flopper, sir; And would rather not witness the slaughter.' (You have assured me that my interpretation of a 'flopper' is correct. An East Indian popular term for a husband who has had a wife arbitrarily selected for him by his parents and is pictured as being hooked, pulled out onto the dock, and left flopping.) beautifully visioned. looking forward to a further collaboration
You have done an excellent re-write here, WES. Your indefatigable spirit inspires us.
This one is sure to bring a smile to the reader's face. Full of wit n humor. A light-hearted view of the matrimonial failure.
A very interesting poem, liked the abbreviations-FIL and Sil.
Awesome.....Liked the humour in this conversation, Thanks for sharing this lively talk between FIL and SIL..10
