Written for Sadje’s What Do You See # 282
and Esther’s Laughing Along With A Limerick
with the inclusion of the word ‘chill’.
This is my limerick response.
There once was a boy in a tree,
Who slept as he dreamt of the sea.
His blanket,
the leaves,
With branches as sleeves,
He snored with a chuckle of glee.
The birds sang him songs full of cheer,
A squirrel whispered jokes in his ear.
As dawn’s light would peek,
Through branches he’d sneak,
He was chill and that boy had no fear!

Love the limerick form. It reminds me of my father-in-law, who wrote or passed on limericks full of puns.
