One Night🌛
( Going out on a “lim”... )
One night while I slept in my bed,
A shooting star passed thru’ my head!
It changed all the ways
I spent all my days,
And wasn’t mistaken for dead!
One night as I slept ‘neath a tree,
I dreamt that I went down to be
Where my lover had gone,
Where did we go wrong?
His footprints all led to the sea!
One night while I slept as it rained,
I dreamt I poured grease in a drain
From the bacon I fried,
Sunny side eggs I tried,
Still hungry, bent over in pain!
One night as I slept in his arms
As he stealthy fondled my charms.
I knee jerked a kick,
Broadsiding his dick,
Thus setting off all the alarms!
One night is too many I fear,
I’m meeting a therapist, dear.
Give me drugs with a poke,
Fill my veins full of dope,
Put me out like a light I’m not here!

I do admit to being a fan of Lim, it's nice to see you thrive outside your comfort zone.

I never knew it meant that, T, thanks for the clue.😺
There’s also a lim hashtag, is that cool or what?!
I’m stoked that you enjoyed the set, yaaay!

Re: Re. One Night
Limerick is a form just like sonnet, haiku, etc. The competition bars no form, just requires 50 unique words - thus, a string of limericks ( such as this fun write ), or renga of haiku/ senryu are perfectly acceptable if they reach the required word count.
Thank you, Jade. What a fun and clever write.

Thank you, tommy!
Yes, in all the years I’ve done the NaPo, and before when I was a spectator, I never saw anyone enter limericks. A misunderstood art form!🤔

Aawww Jarlath, gosh... thank you for this, so sweet of you! Here’s a little gift in return:
I have a friend, his name is Bender
Who’s in a band plays a bass Fender.
All the girls for favors fight,
But Jade’s the only one can write;
Her poetry has Bender go all tender.
specially 4 U☺️
