Steve Martin Limerick


A man who was proud of his clout,

for joking and goofing about,

picked up the banjo,

used verbal ammo,

and let his fun singing voice out.

This is my entry for Mad Kane's Limerick Off for this week.
I tied in Steve Martin 'cuz my love for his comedy's not meek.

This rhyme is also being shared in the Poetry Pantry.

  4. Thanks for visiting Matty, Eric & Wanda! I've always loved his acting. This was the first I've heard his music, but I aim to hear more. His lyrics are funny and banjos cheer me at the core. :)

  5. haha never knew he did this at all
    Was a fun little diddy even if he wasn't very tall..haha

    Maybe Cheaper by the Dozen his music sells
    Or The Jerk ups it with bells
    Or some Dirty Rotten Scoundrels could come along
    With some Pink Panther song
    And Sgt. Bilko will ignore your yells

  8. Steve has tried many new things
    through-out his career.
    Now he's picked up a banjo
    to assault my brain and my ear.
    But the music I can deal with.
    It's folksy and cute.
    I'm more worried about nightmares
    of that darn chicken suit.

  10. Thanks so much for your fun Steve Martin limerick contribution to this week's Limerick-Off.

    By the way, I'm in the middle of Steve Martin's latest novel: Object of Beauty. It's very engaging, especially if you have any interest in the New York art scene.
