His Curses Sting

Too late, too late did my muse formulate!

By John CoxPublished 11 months ago Updated 11 months ago 1 min read
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!

    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. 👌🏽👏🏽
