Trio Of Limericks

Limerick 1- One Reason

“An apple a day keeps doctor away”,
For years or just one day?
Then I’d have a thousand reasons,

Limerick 2- On Beach

Idyllic summer on seashore and beach,
Champagne and dulcet juice of peach,
Parched like dunes of sand,
Sitting-up, with grit in hand,
Still too far from an arm reach!

Limerick 3- Lost Things

Tell me where I lost my glue,
O dear life give me just one clue,
A long story was to end when,
Thine pen broke in the middle then,
Oh! did you lost the other one too?

Why don’t they set me free, So they can see, What I actually meant to be, Flying up high in the sky. All is lost, But I still hope; What-if they set me free, So I can flee, To the wild unseen.
