meathead limerick trio

Hanging here at dVerse Poets Pub where Laura Bloomsbury suggests we count to three!

_______

i. meat

healthy protein in beef
may cause vegetarian grief
so by all means
do eat your beans
but for brain food, “carne” is chief!

ii. head

board at the top of your bed
or “mr. chairwoman,” it is said;
location of brain,
an ache or migraine,
if missing, you’re probably dead!

iii. meathead

favorite furry farm cat
slowly grows older and fat;
friendly neighbor,
as a big favor,
now nicknames feline that!

    How clever to take a compound word and allow it to inspire three poems! Well done, Lynn!
