For your weekend pleasure (okay, really for my weekend pleasure) I decided to post several lighthearted bird limericks, complete with illustrations. Let’s get things started with the Carolina Wren.
A Carolina Wren, I declare,
showed up to sample the fare
With gluttonous greed
he gobbled up seed
Then he left with his tail in the air.
I hope the silliness brought a smile to your face.
Tune in tomorrow for the second installment of the lighthearted limerick series. 🙂

It sure did make me smile 🙂 and I LOVE the last photo – toooooo cute!!
Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
That is quite the shot of his bum! Hehe! 😄😊😄
That was the shot that led to the limerick. 🙂
Thank you, Kathy!! 💛💜💛
You are most welcome. 🙂
LOL, Iove it and am looking forward to more! 🙂
And more you shall have. 🙂
Hey, but I do have a question, Kathy – how do you know this is a male wren? I’ve always wondered how to tell the difference.
Ah…the male and female wrens look alike…I just took poetic license. 🙂
Lol, ok, I thought maybe you knew something I didn’t. I thought every bird had some kind of distinguishing characteristic! (I painted one of your wrens today – love these photos, Kathy.)
All these limericks brought a smile on my face! Love the last picture, in particular 🙂
Glad you enjoyed them. I posted this right as I heard the news about all that was happening in Paris. I was tempted to delete it, but then, sometimes with all the heaviness in the world, it just seems right to let our hearts be reminded of something lighter and lovelier.
I want to thank you again for bringing me so close to what I love painting most. You and your images are a huge blessing to me, Kathy! Happy Sunday to you and yours. 💛🎨😘
You are most welcome. It is absolutely my pleasure. 🙂
