cheated on wife out to dinner

she said "That's not cool"
he simply wished he weren't with her

This is cute. Poor wife and he was the mayor. He must not have eaten with his constituents before the election. Well done, my friend~Debbie

Good job! So the mayor is sleeping around. Thought I heard something like that. LOL!

Your info in notes doesn't match Lear's limericks. His are all 88558, which is actually more common than 99669, but both are limericks. :)

Hi Phyllis:

Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. And, thank you even more for not making the topic more complex! lol (I was worried!) There is a line beneath the definition showing the variations of 88558 or 99669. :)

Great job with the Poetry Potlatch!

Indeed fun. Made me laugh in several places and a surprise revealed at the end with being the busy mayor. Great write in perfect limerick style.

Love the art work very much
here for these words written
I loved the following words written

"This 'black tie' affair, turning greyer,
I wished I'd married a bricklayer.
I urged him, "We should go."
But he, of course, said no,
"That's just nonsense, dear, I'm the Mayor."

Grayer should be greyer maybe.

Hi Annie!

grayer and greyer are interchangeable :) (either spelling is acceptable) Thanks for taking the time to read and comment. I appreciate your reviews.

Hi Dovey

Well seems you know what you're doing with this form. :)) I've had great pleasure reading your suite and a huge chuckle. Creative in theme, pleased James is not so unruly when you dine out. :))

A great pic and all in excellent rhyme, seems you have the meter down pat. The challenge scared me to death as I'm not very good at meter ... I must be tone deaf or something. Anyway we all had fun and mine turned out much better than I expected. Haha! BTW Thank you so much for the inclusion of the website and your great notes. Hugs - Lovi xoxox

Hi Lovinia!

I still need to work on the meter, too! Thank you for such a sweet review. I'm so glad you've had a chuckle at this one, it is just pure fun :)

Quoting you here: The challenge scared me to death as I'm not very good at meter ... I must be tone deaf or something. (I say this about myself ALL the time! lol)

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment :)

Hi Dovey

Hi dear, the poem is incredibly fun!
The mayor, huh? With a bit of sleeping disorder!
Well, it might be still the better kind of "sleeping around" ;)
The meter seems mostly fine, but there are a few hiccups. I can't think of a way to repair it without taking away from the funny content... and I definitely prefer to keep all the funny details.
I enjoyed it a lot

Hi Jyoti,

I am so happy you enjoyed it... I worked it and reworked it, and it works in my head lol (clearly, that happens to me sometimes) but I couldn't work past it either. The crazy thing is... I've had comments on the meter that are all over the board... basically from spot on to start over lol I've given myself a headache thinking about it. I love that you liked it despite the flaws ;) That makes me smile :)

*hugs*

Great humour in this, Kim, and the rhyme is spot on.

Fiction, huh? OK, the bit about him being the mayor might be ;-)

Well done, I wonder what Phyllis will have in store for us next?

Hugs,
Craig

Hey Craig...

If the meter is off, you need to tell me lol unfortunately, my meter gauge went to sleep on me ;)

Thanks for the too kind comments.

I think the number of syllables is pretty much correct, but I didn't find getting the emphasis so it sounded smooth easy in a couple of places. I think maybe I'd need to hear it how you would read it ;-)

reply by the author on 10-Apr-2016

I still haven't found a meter app in my inbox ;) And you never understand a word I say aloud, how could that make it better? lol If it is rubbish, perhaps I'll divorce that old Mayor and steer clear of limericks ;)

Comment from Sandra du Plessis

Excellent

A great set of Limericks on your husband the Mayor's bad behaviour at those black tie events. Although your limericks are fiction it does happen in elite circles from time to time. Lol.

LOL but in a good way. I enjoyed your lighthearted limericks. I know they were all in fun. Good job on the meter and super rhyme. Thanks for the notes, too. I have studied limericks, but I am not good at getting the point across in such a short format although I can rhyme. Jan

Hi Janny,

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment :) They aren't my strong suit either lol how many times can you change out three words, anyways? I was just happy to combine Poetry Potlatch and my 'Of Poets and Poetry' this week. I feel like that is a win. :)
