The old lady harvests eggs each day
While her hens at seed peck away.
In hand right now, only four (?!)
With hopes tomorrow they’ll lay more,
While the goats watch on, munching hay.
I’m not sure I’ve ever written a limerick before, despite my decades of reading and writing poetry. However, when I stumbled across Esther Chilton’s Laughing Along With a Limerick challenge this week, I thought it might be a fun word to jump in on…
Especially since the chickens are finally laying again now that the days are lengthening, minute by minute, and the Olive Eggers are not disappointing 🙂
Not sure how funny my limerick is, but surely you’ll offer me a bit of Newbie grace and let me know your thoughts in the comments, no? TIA!
xoxo,
Melissa
