Boomer

Posted on January 21, 2012 by Neeks

(Grape, Elephant, Lunar)

There once was an elephant named Boomer.
It was early but he wanted to eat sooner.
Among other such junk
He sucked a grape up his trunk
Then he sneezed and the orb is now lunar.

What do you know, another elephant poem. There seems to be a pattern emerging here…

Great poem Neeks. I liked it 🙂

Thanks Scriptor, something about an elephant just brings out the silly in me, so a limerick it is!

As far as I can tell, you could just keep on writing about elephants forever, neeks. But I know the next time I see a post from you, it will be about a completely different, equally enchanting lead character.

Thank you Judith, your kind words are appreciated!

Very sweet! Elephants always make me smile, so this was a nice lift to my mid-day slump.

Hehehe, thank you 🙂 Elephants do that don’t they, just make you smile. Especially the little ones!

I think the grape landed on my windshield. I found you on Limebird, and you mentioned being near Valdosta… My wife, kids, and I are in Tallahassee… are you nearby? Just looking for fellow writers in the area.

I am, Ryan. I work in Valdosta. Small world isn’t it!
