Oh, dear, I think my closet may have a few of those things still with strings. This is a cute limerick on a fun topic. Nice sense of humor.
Best of luck in the contest.

Thank you so much for reviewing my "Scary Things" poem! It was fun to write - especially since it was "so true!" LOL! I'm so glad you enjoyed it's humor! Thanks again and have a wonderful day!

There should be a 12-step program for compulsive shopping. Then we need a de-cluttering/simplify your life workshop, and then finally a recovery program. Clothes closets can be scary places. You have penned a fun limerick. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you so much for the great review! It was a fun (and an oh-so-true) one to write! There "definitely" should be a recovery retreat program for this addiction! LOL! Thanks again and have a wonderful day!
Comment from Bill Schott
This limerick, Scary Things, has the proper formatting and seems to be as disheveled as the topic of the clothes closet. The poem seems a bit thrown together.

Hi, Bill! Thanks for the feedback! I have to admit, it might seem a little disheveled, but so true as to too many clothes with the tags still on them! LOL! It's a curse! Thanks again for the honest review! Have a wonderful evening!

I enjoyed this poem and found it fun to read. The author's words are
humorous, descriptive and creative. I thought about, as the author says,
things I bought on sale and never wear! The artwork is awesome and
compliments the words of this poem. Have a great week!....Maria

Thank you so much, Maria, for the great review! I'm so happy that you enjoyed. It was quite fun to write and to try to match the poem, took a few pieces of clip art from the internet, cutting and pasting together (LOL)! It was noted by someone that I had made an error in the rhyming scheme, so I had just made the change before you reviewed. Thanks again for the lovely review and have a wonderful evening!

(Review rating upgraded from 4 to 5 after author correction made.)
You've written amusingly about a situation I think many of us can relate to - the bad habit of buying too many items in a sale and then never wearing them.
However, that first line does not fit with the rest of the limerick... the last word should rhyme with 'door' and 'wore'.
How about something like this:
Every time that I open the door
It sure scares me that there's always more
of those tempting things
Attached to by strings...
Hung from clothing that "never" I wore

Hi, Lisa! Thanks for straightening me out on the error I made... I did put it together rather quickly and certainly goofed! I made corrections to the Limerick and think that it is now in classic Limerick format. Thanks again!

Great correction! I upgraded my rating to a 5.

Thanks again for your help! Greatly appreciated! Have a wonderful evening!

A fun Limerick for the contest and I can identify with your post here as I have a wardrobe full of clothes with tickets still on them! I always promise to wear them and never do, I enjoyed your inventive post and good luck with the contest and congrats on your 50th post, love Dolly x

Hi, Dolly! Thank you so much for your review and am so happy that you enjoyed! If only I could "still" fit into some of those clothes with tags still on them! LOL! Thank you again (and for your congrats on my 50th post! Have a beautiful day!
Comment from Alan Tryens
Congratulations on your 50th poem. I love limericks and yours reminds me of my wife. She loves shopping at Goodwill and thrift shops. Hence she has a lot of scary stuff in her closet.

It is a scary thing when you're cleaning out your closet and find things you had forgotten you bought (and now can't fit into)! LOL! I'm so happy you enjoyed - thank you and have a wonderful day!

Congratulations on your milestone post! The scariest thing in my closet is my pair of huge jnco jeans from high school. LOL. I loved your limerick. I know plenty of people who have the same problem with never-worn clothing. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
