Uh, No Jelly For Me, Please

That’s Not What A Screw Driver Is For

There once was a woman, just for giggles, call her Kelli

She grew weary of the voices in her head, forever yelling

She took a rusty screwdriver, and stuck it in her ear

To get the grumbling voices in her head to disappear

Now serves the sticky parts on toast, like jelly

**********************************************************

Another wonderful limerick, keeping up with the new trend. Tending to lean silly and gross, instead of X-rated and vulgar. Gives us something to shoot for. Since that is what a limerick likes.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, please feel free to critique.

    I appreciate your positive comment and agree that this limerick is a good example of the genre's playful and sometimes absurd nature, without crossing the line into offensive or inappropriate territory. It's always great to see creativity and humor in writing!👌👌👍👍
