An Epiphany
An anthropomorphist called Maurice
discovered he was a Slow Loris.
He complained (through a yawn)
"I wish I'd been born
a fleet of foot racehorse called Doris"

Very clever! Short and amusing, well done indeed!
ReplyDeleteNot all of us can be fleet of foot! There are benefits to taking one's time (at least you don't get put down if you break a leg!)
ReplyDeleteDid you know a slow loris has a toxic bite? Should we be worried if you ever leave a biting comment? LOL
ReplyDeleteMind you, I knew a Doris who could do the same thing...
Hmmm...I was sure there was a hedgehog hiding somewhere within. Not sure why, but I would have bet money on it.
ReplyDeleteA lovely limerick--and sometimes the race is not to the swift.
ReplyDeleteTerrific limerick. I should like to come back as a cat - a pet cat of course, spoiled rotten.
ReplyDeleteWhat Mama Zen said!
ReplyDeleteHehe, cheered up a dull afternoon.
ReplyDeleteWitty and fun!
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteThe loris is an awesome animal. I remember learning about him on the Kratt Brothers.
ReplyDeleteLots of fun!
ReplyDeleteThis cracked me up!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I love the Limerick feel to it.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious...so clever
ReplyDeletelove this! there's a terrific children's picture book called Slow Loris, by Alexis Deacon, about how the reason the slow loris is slow is that he's up partying all through the night. you should take a look! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat limerick! And as beautiful as Doris is I think that Slow Loris is squeezably adorable.
ReplyDeleteHee hee, loved it!
