My Poems: Wrapping Paper Limericks

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I won't confess how long I've been working on these limericks, but it is much longer than less than 70 words should take. I do sometimes do poems on chocolate wrappers but as I'm out at the moment, I let this nice wrapping paper be my muse.






There once was a pilfering parrot,
who stole gems and gold by the karat,
but when his fence split,
he squawked, ‘This life I must quit,
or whatever I nick, I must wear it!”

There once was a purloining toucan
who pinched just like a tattoo can;
when zoo exhibits were closed,
his long beak he imposed
and made off with choice nibbles as few can!

These made me smile. Lovely paper too.

Thank you very much. I've had that wrapping paper beside my bed for months and just the first lines of the limericks in my head. I was glad I finally realized it.

Lovely, and what a cool idea! Now I'm imagining Raffles as a colourful tropical bird :D

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thank you! Oh, that's a fun prompt! Raffles would be a hybrid of a thieving magpie and something very tropical. But I don't know what Bunny would be.

A great use for the wrapping paper:-)

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thank you! Would you believe it's been sitting right beside my bed for months and I only had the first line of each poem? I kept waiting for the muse to help me finish them.
