Do-gooders? Pah! #limerick

Posted on Jul 8, 2020 by TanGental

‘My life’s so dull,’ said Sir Galahad,
‘Being seen as good is driving me mad.’
‘All of this adulation,’
‘Has given me constipation.’
‘In future I will present as a cad.’

About TanGental

My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published several books: a four book series following Harry Spittle as he grows from hapless student to hapless partner in a London law firm; four others in different genres; a book of poetry; four anthologies of short fiction; and a memoir of my mother. I have several more in the pipeline. I have been blogging regularly since 2014, on topic as diverse as: poetry based on famous poems; memories from my life; my garden; my dog; a whole variety of short fiction; my attempts at baking and food; travel and the consequent disasters; theatre, film and book reviews; and the occasional thought piece. Mostly it is whatever takes my fancy. I avoid politics, mostly, and religion, always. I don't mean to upset anyone but if I do, well, sorry and I suggest you go elsewhere. These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.

    What’s that sir have you gone mad
    Good’s synonymous with Galahad
    Don’t be such a prat
    Be it damsel or cat
    Like prince charming you’re toast of the nation
    Take heart your the sum of your own creation.

    Love your Limerick inspired me 💜🌹

    And so the pure must also be constipated?
