Three Limericks That Mention Animals

“Sam Wanted to Rescue a Cat from a Tree”

October 23, 2018

A black cat was stuck in a tree
Sam wanted to help set him free
He climbed for the cat
But then saw it’s a bat
So he jumped and flew like a bee

“Colony of Ants”
August 30, 2018

She woke to a colony of ants
That was crawling right into her pants
She screamed and she ran
Bumped into the fan
That blew them away toward the plants

“A Bee Sat on a Flower”
August 29, 2018

A bee sat down on a flower
She sat still for many an hour
They thought she was dead
But she went on ahead
Tanning beneath the sun shower

Poem: Visiting Your Gravesite

I went to the cemetery to pay you a visit
But when I got to your gravesite
Tears flooded my face once more
It’s been almost two years since your passing
And yet there is no monument erected in your honor
No loving words etched in memory of you
All that exists is the ugly name tag
Stuck into a pile of dirt

When will that change
When will I finally see the headstone
That reminds us of your presence
That brings to life
The everlasting memories you left us
When you went on your way

The scars never truly fade
And find themselves reawakening
From time to time
Like at the moment I visit you
Only to find that your gravesite is naked
And the picture of you
Along with the loving words
Is only in my mind
And not for the world to see

Poem: Love Is Priceless

You can’t put a price on love
Nor can you buy it
So don’t let anyone
Shower you with material things
To get you to love them
Especially if they are the kind of people
That don’t deserve your love

Poem: Tomorrow Is Not Promised

Tomorrow is not promised
So live every day like it is your last

Make sure to squeeze every ounce
Of happiness and pleasure
Excitement and positive energy
From the day that falls upon you

Make sure that all your dreams
And everything that you envision
Materializes into reality

Because you never know
Which day will turn into your last
