Here’s your new limerick challenge. Your word is
RIDE
Millie, thrilled, went along for a ride
She didn’t have time left to bide
She left for her date
Didn’t want to be late
Kept her phone and her purse to one side
Millie’s date Buster, just never showed
The shock and sadness felt like a load
She knelt down and cried
her dog at her side
Vowed to stay single or so I was told

Poor Millie, but she’s probably better off without that loser, and a dog’s love is forever. 😀

Not so funny, but a good limerick/poem because it probably has happened to lots of people, getting stood up. Sometimes in hindsight it’s for the best. 🙂

I didn’t know if it was still a limerick if it wasn’t funny…

Yes, it can be about anything as long as it follows the limerick structure rhyme AABBA 🙂

Disappointment seems to haunt many women. Then again, happiness doesn’t depend on being coupled… Some of the most unhappy people I’ve met were part of a pair!
