Today’s lighthearted limerick features the often maligned and misunderstood Blue Jay, who happens to be another of my favorite backyard visitors. Ready for the rhyme?
I have heard Blue Jays come from the mold
of the bullyish, brutish, and bold
But the ones that I feed
are a scared, skittish breed
I guess mine simply haven’t been told!
Although my Blue Jays truly are skittish, they can gobble up peanuts faster than any other bird I’ve seen. I am always amazed at how many they can pack in their pouch in a single sitting!
Hope you have enjoyed this weekend’s worth of limericks. 🙂

Delightful post!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My blue jays are so loud! I think they fit every stereotype. (K)
Keep them coming!
🙂 Inevitably, there will be more in the future.
I adore the blue jays! Great photos!!
Glad you liked them. 🙂
*applause* once again! 🙂
I think you may have inspired a mini-haiku: “Though jays some malign, I think they are fine” 😉
Well done! You have, once again, made me smile. 🙂
I love Blue Jays too! And your limericks are as perfect as your pictures 🙂
