But if it’s forbidden

I once had a doctor called Roger

Who let out a room to a lodger.

He charged her much rent

As his money was spent

Sending food out to old codgers.

 

If you want to get published today

You can’t have  word rhymes in your play.

They are pre-post-modern

Especially when sudden.

So take care and enjoy feeling ………………..grudges.

[see it’s quite easy]

 

But the essence of limericks is rhyme.

As in clocks, it is their chime.

But if it’s forbidden

We’ll have to get rid o ’em.

The essence of loving is time.
