All you are missing is "She was insane." She was a pain" "She liked to complain." ect ect.. Cute poem, plus it helps that I am from Maine, and know that most people from there wanna leace because its too dang cold. Cheers KF
Hi Reg (smiles), the woman obviously made a decision as to what would make her happy, and that's selling her goat and going to Spain. Zane would probably have to make do with what was left, the goat from Maine. Joke, joke, joke! Funny and concise limerick. Ron, you're the best!
LOL, this is so witty, Regis! Love it! The drawing really makes it come to life, too. Myself, I would take cold old Maine, lol. Poor Miss Maine.....if only she kept that goat, Zane would have been head over heels in love then, lol! :)
As I read this, I grab my horse's mane! This limerick is the perfect example of going the long haul, go 501 miles to reach your goal. Too many quit at mile 500, and going that one more extra mile makes all the difference in the world...like her, she put her goat up for sale too soon. Zane, the goatherder may have been her lifelong mate and they could have raised goats together! That's my point! Be well, Regis.
Love,
Sage

ahhh...poor goat...it hurts...when they sell...hope she goes in right hand...and what trade...pity lady Maine....
This is hilarious Regis.It's really funny what happened,I commented on Ron's limerick and when finished I went to your bio page and clicked on poetry,and kept getting Ron's Limerick over and over. Irt may just have been a fluke, but try it, click on your poetry and see where it takes you.(from your bio page;-)
If I was from Maine, I'd want to travel to Spain, too!!
Brrrrrr. This is totally delightful, you two...
I once had a pet goat named Amos
His passion for cherries was famous
To reach the branches he climbed
Top a convertible so fine
Fell through, we were mad, can you blame us?
This is insane that she's going to Spain, as you would lay claim, meet up with a guy, by a weird name like Zane. Had she stayed in Main, she could have taken the train, and had she done that I would bet, she could have, kept her pet goat instead.....
By the way, what kind of boat, that doesn't take a goat, they transport sheep and cattle don't they? That's what I heard say.
You are a riot Regis, that's all I wanted to say, oh yes, and Oley!!!
Good rhythm, Regis. I think you forgot the er on the end of goatherd? If it is goatherder, you have the beat of a limmerick perfectly...either way, this was entertaining. Put a smile on my face.
Take care,
Sherry

You have the greatest sense of humor in this poem. It expresses the personality of the writer in a moment of laughter... Loved it!
Be always safe,
