The Candlemaker ~ A Limerick

Today's prompt for the Mindful Poetry Contest is to write a limerick using the words Ford and buzz.

 

A young candlemaker who was bored

Ran off with a baker she adored

The buzz around the town

Was that they had been found

With hot buns in the back of a Ford.

LOL!!! Brilliant! I wish I could write limericks! Is there a "how to write limericks" yet?

Meanwhile, I just wanted to share one I was told some time ago:

The breasts of a barmaid in Crail,
Were tatooed with the price of Brown Ale,
And on her behind,
For the sake of the blind,
Was the same information in Braille!

Thanks Antje. Sounds like that barmaid provided customer service above and beyond the call of duty.
