Hi, Craig,

Read through this poem. The limerick form really worked, with the punchline sort of end-game at the end. Great rhyme, flow, sounds to this. Fun, strong application of the word of the day while setting up an image of a person worthy of an egg dousing. Not wise to stand in a crowd that is holding eggs, and say/be something that inspires a good hurl.

However, Some people can't see the egg on their person over the piles of poop in their brains.

LOL I like that last comment, Turtle. Can I steal it? Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a great review, Craig

This makes more sense than you realize, Craig. Good job on the limerick style. Your words leading to the new word are of great help to understand it. I believe this could apply to many politicians. Thanks for sharing. Jan

I guess that's what they mean by egg on the face. I always thought it was some kind of voyeuristic beauty treatment. Eggs really tighten the skin ya know. ;-)

Great job Craig and point taken.

So does eating lots of them (or anything, really). Many thanks, Gloria :)

A very well-written Limerick about how easily someone can offend another and when they are going too far the only option is to throw them with something disgusting.

Thanks very much, Sandra. Personally, I wouldn't throw anything at anyone, but if something soft and squishy like an egg were hurled at the right person, I might have trouble not laughing. Cheers, Craig

Okay, was the trajectile on his shirt, tie, head? Fun poem and totally understandable in ternsyof meaning and usage. I am sure there's a political application here.

I love these, Craig, you always pull together such fun verses to regale us with. The cadence of the limerick is useful here and really is an enhancement to your poem. Just great!

LOL ... this is a fun, original and cute limerick, Craig. I can think of worse things to be hit with. At least eggs can be washed off, and he won't go hungry. Love your title. Whenever I hear the word "trajectile" I think of trajectile vomiting. Let's hope that there won't be any of that. :)

Cheers,
Connie

Ewwww no thanks. Shame to waste good eggs, though. Many thanks, Connie :)

reply by bichonfrisegirl on 22-Nov-2018

I realized after I sent your review, that it's 'projectile' vomiting, not 'trajectile' vomiting. Either way ... it's nasty, and yes, a shame to waste good eggs. :)

Craig, so fun and fresh! At the rate our national discourse is eroding, omelettes should be flying everywhere! Tomatoes, too! I guess this is better than printing a lie about someone and destroying their reputation and family altogether. I would rather someone threw an egg at me and be done with it.
All my best, I hope you're well and good.
Sally

I am well, and I try not to be good; but at my age, I have little alternative ;-)

Many thanks for the delightful comments, Sally.

Cheers, Craig

It's too early for your "yolks" this morning. You have just been waiting for the opportunity to write a poem about "eggscuses," now haven't you?
Your limerick is charming. You have kicked off my day off with a smile. I just started a new Preston and Childs book, and in the first chapter, children are egging a car. That's how the body is found.
Enough with the eggs, and I haven't even started to cook breakfast. I have to serve eggs to my mom everyday.
Have a creative day, Craig.

Sounds eggsactly like what the doctor ordered, Debbie... though of course, I'm no eggspert. I guess I should stop there, you probably find all this nonsense eggsasperating :)

Sounds like a fun story, have a wonderful holiday!

Is this your eggsample of humor? Your eggstensive repertoire is eggsercising my brain.

I didn't see any chickens listed in your profile? Cute poem. Short and sweet with a clever punch line. I suppose getting hit with a egg is better than the fry pa.You made me smile.

We used to have chickens, Rickie. Sadly, a fox got them -- in broad daylight, while I was home. As much as we love having them around (they are delightful company), I couldn't stand for others to meet the same fate, and I refuse to have them if they can't roam free. Until I work something out where they can be safe and happy, no more chickens.

Thanks so much for the delightful rating, and the great comments. Both are really gladly received.

Craig
