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

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.
Much to their delight of course :) . Clever limerick that was a pleasure to read. I'm sure it would have been a memorable date for the couple. You are very talented.10+
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!
Wow didn't know u could write limericks so well, wow this perfect funtastic poem shows u can write anything well. Super cool imaginative romance here lol grinning from ear to ear. Kudos.
Interesting Limerick Valsa.. There couldn't have been better place to be in. Enjoyed reading it.
A wonderful Limerick dear madam! Enjoyed the humor.....thanks for sharing.....10
Thank you for this delightful Limerick on Lovers, Valsa. The lovers are so immersed in each other, they are hardly aware of their surroundings. They can only see each other. :) ................ 10
Very humorous Valsa...the lovers got drowned in deep love so they were not aware of the manhole stink nor they got drowned to meet with any unwanted end...lovely limerick 10
I think the manhole was a bedroom, as it was cold december night they packed each in a hot blanket. Enjoyed this beautiful limerick, it happened with all of us.
And one day their children will ask to have that story told again and again! Thank you for the big smile.
and both very happy even though cramped in that space.... Lovely and humorous! Ah! True love!
Secret planning and dating motivated these two secret lovers. Darkness allowed them to meet and they agreed for this meeting but in deep manhole they fell and could not come up. What an amazing Limerick this is really. This gives unlimited fun. An excellent limerick is shared...10
For some, the ideal 'date'. The humour really comes through, Valsa. Very much appreciated.
