A Poet Called Paul
Obviously not me...or is it?
There once was a poet called Paul
He was greying, fat and kinda tall
People would point and stare
Call him names without a care
Until one day he killed them all

Thank you for reading! Another limerick. Yes, it's becoming a thing. It's taking over haiku for me. Anyway, I really hope you've enjoyed the ride so far. This post marks number 99. That means something's coming. It may take a little while longer for me to publish anything new because I have something I am working on that has been put off for too long.
So, keep your eyes peeled. While I'm working on piece 100, I'll be able to read up on stuff I've not been able to in recent weeks.
If you enjoyed my third take on a limerick, please let me know. Click the heart, drop a comment, and you know all the usual stuff.
Here are some other pieces you could enjoy:

Have me Lol 😂 here! Nice one, Paul 💕🙂
I appreciate the creativity and humor in Paul's poem! The rhyming scheme and rhythm flow nicely and make the poem enjoyable to read. I also appreciate how the poem takes a lighthearted approach to addressing the hurtful actions of others. Overall, Paul has done a great job in expressing his thoughts and feelings through poetry.

If I ever meet you in person I will make sure not to point and stare... I'll just stare. Fun work Paul... I may have to try my hand at a Rick limerick... You've inspired me.
I hope it won't be me after the limerick I wrote in the comments on your Poor Lazy Ben poem.!
Imagine a hater reading this 😂😂. Great poem btw, really liked it.
I second Kelli’s comment… I definetly know where I stand now 😅
Well, now we know where we stand
