I’m starting the day with a Limerick. It’s one of two I have in mind, featuring well-known WordPressers who have exchanged poetry with me in the last few weeks.
As ever, I call it poetry but offer no opinion as to the quality.
A white-haired curmudgeon named Knight,
Found his trousers had grown rather tight.
He ate so much Jalfrezi,
Which he covered in gravy,
That he will never again be quite light.
I tried to fit bahji in, but settled for gravy – less accurate but it seemed to fit better. All us artists have to compromise at some point…
There will be at least one more Limerick today – watch this space!
Hohoho!! Loved it a lott!! Tho you should not have settled for gravy bhaji was much much better… Although cheers! I wish I could write smart and humourous Limericks like this… Even I write Limericks you see, maybe you’d like to check them out?

Yes, I hadn’t thought about bhaji. Will look in later. 🙂
I expect Derrick is plotting his revenge at this moment!
🙂 He’ll be too busy with parties and eating and such.
😀
A new vocab word for me..Jalfrezi. googled it and now I’m smarter =)
If you follow Derrick J Knight you’ll see it many more times. 🙂
I did see it in someone’s comments..adding to the “new vocabulary list.”

Artistry of the highest order.
That is very kind. However, the next one of the series may be trickier… 🙂

Excellent
Thank you. 🙂
Cute. Almost sounded like you were talking about me – but I’m no poet! 🙂 (I just love my food!)
There is time yet…
There once was a blogger, GP
Who went on a holiday spree.
From the food came the weight
That by the New Year’s date
Not one outfit would fit poor me!
Excellent! 🙂
haha, I should have told you to be careful what you wish for, eh?!
🙂
As you called my clerihew poetry, I’ll forgive you. Nice one
To be fair, my poetic standards are not high. 🙂
