My last post was on a heart-wrenching subject so I felt in need of something lighthearted… time for another limerick challenge! This time I wrote about a unicorn. My sons provided the inspiration and illustrations as always. The black-winged, purple unicorn is by my five-year old and the distinctly dragon-y one below was carefully drawn by his big brother (aged seven).
As usual, please forgive bad rhymes and general ridiculousness!
There once was a job-seeking unicorn
Who filled in a flight-staff recruitment form
But aeroplane seats
Don’t fit mythical beasts
And the poor thing looked daft in the uniform!

Unicorn uncomfortably wedged into an orange and blue uniform (I think he’s decided not to board the flight)
Fabulous as always hon, you are so talented. I’d like to see you publish a book with all your limericks xxx
Thanks Reneé – maybe, one day… xxx
