There was a young lady called Rose,
Who played Chopin etudes with her toes.
When they asked, "why your feet?"
She replied, "you can't beat
Them, when all of your fingers are froze."
(With thanks to Tess at Magpie Tales for the photo)
I think my Mum would have told me off if I'd tried that on our piano. But then I never had such pretty feet. And I couldn't play Chopin. But apart from that..... Now you'll tell me off for starting sentences with conjunctions.
The grammarian in me had to come up with another offering (but it's too much like yours to submit it at Magpie Tales):
A pianist, Heidi has chosen To make music in lederhosen. When the cold North wind wind blows She plays Bach with her toes Because all of her fingers are frozen.
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..

ReplyDeleteThat's the kind of rule you can break once you've learnt it, GB. I do it all the time....
DeleteBrrrrrrrr avo.
ReplyDeleteVerrrrrry clever. Thank you!
DeleteI suppose it would be better exercise than sitting and playing with her hands.
ReplyDeleteWhy, Patsy? I'm intrigued.
DeleteAwesome limerick! I love to see a little form in my poems! Bravo!

Very good! Why not sumbit it? There are lots of y serious ones. We need to help keep the balance!
DeleteYup! Fingers do have the tendency to stiffen up!
ReplyDeleteLike now. It is freeeezing.
DeleteFunny limerick!
ReplyDeleteHa! I certainly feel froze these days! But my toes aren't that talented!
