Poetry and personal blog – Spilling my guts to strangers

Quit Smoking Now!

It’s time that you put out your butts
‘Cuz smoking is silly and nuts!
It’s really not cool
So don’t be a fool:
Don’t tarry or linger or futz!

  2. Futz! Very creative rhyme. Thanks for joining the contest. This is a great limerick. 🙂

    • Honored for you to say so, Rachel. You’re the rhyming Queen. It’s harder than it looks to rhyme, make sense, AND be funny, let alone write a proper limerick, yet you do that and more all the time. I was going for competent! 🙂

  3. Very innovative…I can’t rhyme at all…loved it.
