When Cedric went fishing in Gallway
He left both his coats in the hallway.
His binoculars, too,
(Since there was wasn't a view).
Now he's drowned. And he's missed. (In a small way.)
(With thanks to Tess at Magpie Tales for the picture)

ReplyDeleteI've no idea, Karen!
Delete... awe. Let's hope they put his belongings to good use :)
ReplyDeleteOxfam shop, Margaret. He hadn't made a will.
DeleteThe painting is lovely, somewhat reminiscent of Andrew Wyeth's work or John Singer Sargent's. Your perfectly composed limerick has made me view it in a different way, though. The limerick makes me happy, but the painting now makes me sad.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Frances!
And well done you, for guessing the artist!
DeleteOh, my goodness, I just checked over at Magpie Tales and the painting IS by Andrew Wyeth! I'm more erudite than I thought!
ReplyDeleteAs my mother used to tell me, "Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back...."
Wry with tonic.

No PFD either, huh? What a shame.
ReplyDeletePFD?? I'll have to go and look that up!
DeleteHopefully poor Cedric was wearing his hand-knit Irish wool sweater and they were able to identify him by the woven pattern! (One of the many little facts learned on my trips to Ireland!) Clever little Limerick-- Nice to see a bit of a different style here!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ginny!
