HI Craig
Good Limerick
I wonder what stone age woman said to the man?
Maybe go make the bloody dishes.
Or
Oh dear the deer you brought is queer, it has two left legs,
must have left the right one at home. :-))Z.

Ha! ... the best way to a woman's heart is to cook or clean for her. No cuddle if ya don't 'scuddle'. This is a fun poem, Craig. You've made this new word easy to remember with your scuddle/cuddle rhyme. A most enjoyable read.

Cheers,
Connie

My other half says the best way to a man's heart is through his chest with a bread knife. She's "different" lol

I'm a light sleeper, by the way ;-)

Anyway, I'm the chief scuddler around these parts, for sure.

Many thanks, Connie.

Craig

Oh, too funny, Craig!! You gave me a good laugh with my first morning cup of coffee. Hey, I'd be a light sleeper too. :) Along the same lines ... I won't bat a lash or wiggle my ash, 'til he takes out the trash. After all, it's only fair that we each do our share.

Have a great day, my friend!

Excellent, Craig, she really set you straight, didn't she, lol. I really like limericks when they are done well, as this one is, and it is humorous. I'm glad you're still at it with your book of curiosities :))

What a fun interpretation for this word, Craig. I enjoyed reading this limerick. The rhymes are super. I was wondering if the 'can't' should be 'can'? You can put it off [meaning not now] Did I miss something? Good job and thanks for sharing. Jan

Hi Jan,

I get what you're saying, but the "can't" refers to the scuddling, not the cuddling lol. In a way, she's saying, "Stop procrastinating!" Thanks so much, Craig

Hi Craig. I like your limerick which focuses on washing dishes. Image looks like a restaurant kitchen. I've worked in a few of those. In my generation men rarely did the dishes (or anything else around the house). This newer one does. So -- no cuddling until he's done with scuddling. Marilyn

Yes, I thought the same thing when I saw the picture, Marilyn. Unfortunately, I couldn't find what looked like a picture of a man washing in a domestic kitchen that met the licensing requirements. Thanks so much for the kind comments. Craig

I figured as much.

Lol. Ah, the drudgery of scudllery. For me, (in American pronunciation), I'd mishear it as "scuttle." A very well done limerick about an all too familiar domestic occurrence.

Uncle Craig,

My delicate 'paws' are protesting,
the dish soap and bubbles molesting
my soft, silky fur.
Take over--I'll purr.
A kitty should really be resting.

FYI - Mom is divesting her interests here.

Dear Prissy,

Your exhortations are unnecessary. This dishwasher long ago discovered that the key to avoiding chipped dinnerware is to take over responsibility for the task. Especially if the incumbent lacks opposable thumbs!

Put your paws up, grab a good book (I know an excellent poetry collection you really should read) and relax... all is under control :)

Purr-rr-rr-rr-fect.

So, I have been scuddling all week. I didn't even know it, and I have done nothing else for days. Talk about a timely entry. That's a good word and enjoyable limerick.

Thanks so much, Debbie. I hope you're using Palmolive (TM) detergent - wouldn't want you getting dishpan hands!

reply by Debbie Pope on 29-Dec-2018

I'm glad someone is worried about the effects of all this cuddling.

reply by Debbie Pope on 29-Dec-2018

Auto corrected my scuddling.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis

A very well-written Limerick words that sound much the same often leads to misunderstanding and one will be at the bad end more than one time. Dishwashing is not my favorite activity either.

I prefer washing to drying, although the latter almost always is left to occur naturally in this household :) Thanks so much, Sandra.
