Magpie Tales#74

Tess's eerie prompt is somewhat by-the-by this week!  Bloggers go HERE to see how another blogger is trying to usurp my territory and muscle in on the Limerick As Art. Can't have that, can we?




CROSS-BUTTOCK

A wrestler from Hay-on-the Wye
said, "No matter how hard I try
to warm to my task
when wearing this mask
I can't get THAT hold on the guy"






(End of round 1)

    A challenging Doctor I spy!!
    I fix him with my beady eye
    and dare him to play
    in this time honoured way
    with humour that none can deny!

    Round 2 opening...

    "Cross-Buttock?" That's what Google showed
    as I laboured o'er my little ode.
    But I don't believe it!
    Looks more like a "Heave It
    Up, Over and Into the Road."

    From the looks of it ... the match may indeed be over! So funny, so clever!

    Doctor, your playing is sneaky!
    If I hadn't come back for a peeky
    I'd never have knowed
    you had played with your ode,
    an added a picture to freak me.

    Thanks, Doc! I always did say, you can't beat a man who knows how to give in gracefully! :)

    I love the limericks too, Doc. But it's a good while since you gave us a "serious" (horrid word) Magpie poem on your other blog.

    Dear FTSE: You're not kidding? There really is a hold called the "Cross-buttock"? Loves the sparring match with Jinksy! Looks as though the lady's one, gentlemen O...h that was a good parlay!

    Quite enjoyed the wrestling match between you and Jinsky! I believe that if I were a wrestler and saw someone coming at me in that mask, I'd take a dive right then and there!

Thank you for stopping by. To make life easier for you I have turned off the new indecipherable and time-wasting verification words. Would you care to "feedback" to Blogger and complain about them, like I did?
