His Curses Sting
Too late, too late did my muse formulate!

Yes, yes. I am responsible for this travesty. The poem, too.
I know an old man with Tourette's
Who swears every chance that he gets
If you look at him funny
I'll wager lotsa money
His curses sting worse than lost bets!

Witty and hilarious, John! And that picture 😂
Great Limerick… Bit of a tongue twister too.🙃
Very inventive. Tourettinio collapsor, Tourettinio cyclone...
Agree with L.C.
Brilliant! 😊👍
Haha, great poem, it made me smile😊
It’s a witty yet thoughtful take on how we often misinterpret things that are beyond someone’s control, while still maintaining a lighthearted feel. Very interesting poets.
I can’t get enough of these quirky photos. This limerick poem was 🔥 fun, playful and hilariously inventive. I had to read it a couple times because the flow and rhyme was also perfectly done. 👌🏽👏🏽
How very clever! Better late than never as they say! Fantastically funny, John!
Loved the rhymes! Haven't read a limerick in awhile. Enjoyed this so much! :)
