there was a man from Arthur’s seat,
who journeyed warm with a fire of peat.
but one day it rained,
and the peat pot was pained,
so he went to bed without any heat!

Love it! 🙂
Aww thanks!
That poor man! But at least he inspired this great limerick.
Indeed he did 🙂
thanks for stopping by..
🙂 I climbed Arthur’s Seat once – but I wouldn’t have described it as warm. xx
Nope! But see if you had a peat fire going… 😀
Definitely missed a trick there. 😉
Great writing! Captured an emotion of sympathy and depth with just five lines and in the form of a light-hearted genre 🙂
Thank you, yes, homelessness is a global problem!
Very good!
Thanks!
Love how you’ve concealed a deeper, really resonant kind of emotion beneath that light humour. Great limerick!
Thank you, yes, homelessness is a global problem!
Oh dear, poor chap… Great stuff!
Thanks for the visit!
Very Nice! I love it!
Thanks!
G’day Udita,
Just dropping by to thank you for your visit and comment,,There is an Arthur’s seat not a great distance from here, hmmmm I wonder 🙂
Ooooh where is that? How exciting!
Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia 🙂
Victoria does have a lot of places named after Scotland 🙂
Made me laugh.
Point achieved, then 🙂
Haha
This is a fun Limerick!
Thanks 🙂
Aww, poor guy. But very nice limerick! 👎👍
Thanks 🙂
I like the theme for sure, had one both imagining and laughing!
Made me smile 🙂
A very nice work. I love the simplicity of the work that is not easy to achieve. Thank you for sharing such a piece of work.
Thanks a lot for visiting!
Very cool. Love the alliteration.
Thanks much!
I’m laughing, I love it!
Haha, thanks!
I had to sneak a peak at where you’re from when I read that. Scotland, gorgeous country and a terrific limerick.
Aye, I love it to bits!
Thanks for commenting on my limerick and leading me here with a link. A nice little laugh to end the day.
Thanks for visiting!

bang on with your limerick!!
There was a wee laddie from Haggs
Who fell off the Salisbury Crags.
They found at his feet
ten kilos of peat
Wrapped up in two Morrisons bags.
Haha, that’s a totally imaginable scenario!
Damn straight it is! 🙂
