Wednesday #limerick: dampen, keep, tremble

Each Wednesday, I compose a limerick based on the prompt from Three Word Wednesday. Today's words are: dampen, keep, tremble


Oh, dampen my "lust" if you must,
For the hand that I thrust at your bust
 Was to swat that wasp dead
And keep you safe instead!
Don't tremble at this fuss unjust!

~~~~~ * * * ~~~~~

There are so many great limericks in my book. The only thing separating you from them? A lousy buck. But maybe you don't like to laugh?

You can read more of my limericks inspired by Three Word Wednesday in my e.book, which is cleverly titled:

Poetry on the Fly: Limericks Inspired by Three Word Wednesday

Only $0.99 - less than a hot dog at the convenience store!
