The way that they met was truly comical
Matter of fact, it’s downright hysterical
Floorboards had a gap
He tripped, fell on her lap
The initial attraction was purely physical
Their romance, people would call atypical
For their personalities are antithetical
He thinks he’s always right
Her temper just about to ignite
To all, their differences seemed astronomical
Yet they had fun; and honestly were never cynical
Even though their affair started quite asymmetrical
They fell in love deeply
Everyone saw that clearly
Their romance went from farcical to fantastical
Epilogue
For honeymoon, they went to somewhere tropical
But she got ill, had to go to a place medical
The doctor did not prescribe
A liquid potion to imbibe
Neither did he give her a pill that’s spherical
For nothing’s wrong with her, it’s all biological
In nine months, there’ll be an event genealogical
They’ll change dirty diapers
Carry milk bottles and wipers
The changes in their lives will be amazingly radical

9aAmazing rhymes using the same syllable all the way in a humorous way.
I hope their story continues to be a happy one!
Fun to read.

9aThanks for liking. I love limericks.A limerick is a humorous, frequently bawdy, verse of three long and two short lines rhyming aabba, popularized by Edward Lear.I have used it a few times. I think I posted three here (The Coconut Tree and The Good Wife are the other two). And my limericks are not bawdy at all.But this is the one where I used the same ending for all the stanzas (ical in this case).

8aLove it! Sounds like my story. I think I'll try to write a limerick. They have a nice flow.
Vic Evora
8aThanks Jenifer. Yes, I think you will have fun with limericks. I have posted two more "The Good Wife" and "The Coconut Tree" and written a few others that I dare not post LOL

3aHappiness is where you find it , be it farcical, blind, arranged, advertised, etc. And can be fantastically super! Amazing too! Lovely love poem , Brod . Thanks. Like.
Vic Evora
3aThank you Brod. I'm glad the poem came out as a love story albeit humorous. Rather than just an intentionally funny limerick.
