A Bug and a Slug in a Rug…..
I was first introduced to limericks by Ogden Nash, an American poet, who wrote what I consider to be the best limerick ever written:
A flea and a fly in a flue,
Were imprisoned, so what could they do?
Said the fly, “Let us flee!”
“Let us fly!” said the flea.
So they flew through a flaw in the flue!
Frederic Ogden Nash (August 19, 1902 – May 19, 1971) was an American poet well known for his light verse. At the time of his death in 1971, the New York Times said his “droll verse with its unconventional rhymes made him the country’s best-known producer of humorous poetry”.
And that simple little ditty has been driving me crazy all these years. I just LOVE the way it flows…..and rhymes…..and makes me smile. So, naturally, I wanted to write something similar. Realizing that I’m no Ogden Nash, and taking into account my own limitations, I set out with very modest goals: write something silly that rhymes, flows, and makes people smile. So without further ado, here is my offering:
A bug and a slug in a rug,
Got thirsty for something to chug.
Said the bug, “Let us drink.”
Chimed the slug, “Let me think.”
Then the slug gave the bug his own jug!
