A smiling jaguar (as imagined by a four-year-old).
Over at Mumturnedmom this week The Prompt is one word: Brief. A single glance at this gave me the nudge I needed to write another limerick (limericks being brief y’see).
I went through a phase a while back of writing one every week - my sons would choose the theme, I would write a limerick and they would illustrate it – but I haven’t written one for a while. The boys have been asking me to write about a jaguar recently, so yesterday I finally got round to it:
A vocally talented jaguar
With a popular musical repertoire
Performed with perfection
Hits by One Direction
And soon was renowned as a superstar.
A jaguar singing One Direction songs on stage under disco lights as a spellbound audience looks on.
The boys were thrilled by the One Direction reference – they dance around the kitchen singing their songs a lot!
All together now: “You don’t know you’re beautiful…”

Brilliant. Love the drawings especially the four-year-old version of the jaguar! Great limerick. xx
