Limerick for Sally Kerr

29 Aug 2023

·TobyHardwick

Time for something silly? I posted some sonnets here a few years ago but I'm back with a limerick I've just written for someone (backstory below) : There was a young schoolgirl called Sally, Who would add lots of boys to the tally. By being so good-looking, She would set their hearts cooking, And they mostly would end up doolally. I've just reconnected with some school friends from 37yrs ago including a girl I particularly fancied at the time. She's just told me she quietly felt the same and I've chastised her for not being more "helpful" at the time in getting me out of my shell back then! So, as payback I've written her a particularly wicked limerick. I'm assuming Americans are au fait with "doolally".

I can't tell you my real name. I live in the UK and obviously I'm not Otto "Toby" Hardwick as he passed away in 1970. I've always been a fan of making life difficult for myself by demanding acrostic poetry or poetry with strict patterns and rhyming...
