Having written about my two favourite 'e' topics (Eurovision and Etymology) in previous bloglets, I was struggling to think of another one. Desperate for some inspiration I typed 'e is for' into an internet address bar and the first two suggestions for how to complete the sentence were 'elephant' and 'estranged'.
Alright then. I like a challenge.
Originally I thought I could write a story about an estranged elephant, but remembering my aim to keep bloglets short, I opted for a limerick instead.
Estranged Elephants
There once was a pachyderm from Fife
Whose snoring offended his wife
He tried to atone
By sleeping alone
But she killed him that night with a knife
Question: Do you have a favourite limerick?
Love it! Well Done.
ReplyDeleteAnd no I didn't know all those facts in your D post. Unfortunately it takes me a lot longer than 8 minutes to get to sleep! So don't know where this one came from!
haha cool :) tho i did have to google pachydern - assumed it was an elephant though :D x
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! Seriously I love that! I heard a limerick about curry once but this ne far exceeds it! Xxxx
ReplyDeleteWonderful! This made me laugh out loud. ☺
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Friday.

LOL- that's awesome and put a smile on my face!
ReplyDeleteI don't read many limericks, but I hear them from friends sometimes. I don't really have a favorite.

Sometimes I feel like my entire life is a limmerick God is humming while being bored! Great limmerick!
ReplyDeleteEdward Lear's are good, but I really like yours!
ReplyDeleteOh my! That elephant married the wrong wife! Great limerick. I remember having to write these in sixth grade. It was such fun making them as wild and funny as we liked!
ReplyDeleteHappy A to Z-ing! from Laura Marcella @ Wavy Lines
This was fun! I read thru your previous posts and like the spontaneity I see here. Here is a limerick I wrote recently for the letter C on a meme I was participating in at the time. I love cats, so....
ReplyDeleteCarlos the cantankerous cat
Would bite at the drop of a hat
When folks tried to pet him
He'd turn round and get 'em
He relished his role as a brat
I love this one too lol!
DeletePoor elephant! ;)
ReplyDeleteExcellent!! I love your writing style!

You're crazy good. I was supposed to be reading "F" but "E" caught my eye. I am insanely jealous that you are so good. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for finding me. You gave me a true gift in finding you back. :)
