There once was a tissue named Bradley
Who could only do things quite sadly.
He snuffled and moaned
And bickered and groaned
And got thrown away quite gladly.

Nice, but "quite sadly" doesn't sound right to me. Use something else in place of quite.

But a good limerick! :)

Ah, thanks!

And don't worry... tissues are little whiners, they are!

What should I use besides "quite?" Any ideas?

Snoink,


This was a pleasurable read. It was something I might expect to stumble upon in a Shel Silverstein book. No serious comments, since this does not beckon seriousness.


Keep it up,
Brad

I once wrote a limerick about tissues....

Let me see if I can remember, I think it went a little like this:

I once had a thought that weren't pure,
Inside a feeling did begin to mature.
I then closed my eyes,
Imagined a swimsuit issue...

Then there was something about a tissue. I think.

Or anyway, it was something like that.

Shel Silverstein--exactly!

Enjoyable read, Snoink. Yayness for limerick-ness!

Thanks you two! I always did like Shel Silverstein... :)

I liked this. It made me smile. I think that the last line needs to be a syllable longer though. Maybe try saying "rather" instead of "quite", as that should fix this problem. Also, I think it would be fresher than saying "quite" twice in such a short poem. Other than that, I really enjoyed it.

With the certainty of tides,
