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 four books - Dead Flies and Sherry Trifle, My Father and Other Liars, Salisbury Square and Buster & Moo. In addition I have published three anthologies of short stories and a memoir of my mother. More will appear soon. I will try and continue to blog regularly at geofflepard.com about whatever takes my fancy. I hope it does yours too. 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 💜🌹
