There was once a young man called Ben
Who always stayed in bed til half past ten
He missed the dawn,
His wife was gone,
And poor Ben never did see her again

Well done!!!😊💕
Should I feel bad for Ben? 🥹 I kinda do. Poor guy ❤️
OOOH, I like this!!! Very well done!
I clicked the heart. Leave haikus alone. But time for limericks anyway.
HA! He just needed some coffee. Poor Ben.
What a lazy shit, that Ben! hahahaha! That was just the type of limerick that gets in your head. Great work :) FFS
Well done! It was so funny!!!!
There once was a poet named Paul. The genres, he played with them all. Sick of haiku, he knew what to do, So limericks he's writing for you! 😂 Sorry, now my brain's going to be hard-wired with limericks all day!
Wonder what Ben did for his wife to leave 🤔 Loved your poem!
Hmmm, I seeing a pattern. bring on the limericks. Well done
