POLKA was danced as it ought,
While a PARTER spun round and got caught;
He crashed near the GORE,
As the crowd gave a ROAR,
And twirled on in AFTERTHOUGHT.
☕☕
The accordion that the young crafter bought-
he repaired for Weird Al, so its laughter ought
to have entertained fans,
not just parodied bands…
But the POLKA became just an AFTERTHOUGHT.
@Samuel. Good AABBA limerick. 🍻
Thanks – Took a monkey wrench and a blowtorch to fit those three-syllable rhymes in there!

Parklet-Thoroughfare.. less efficient but was still quite quick. Wasn’t expecting PARKLET to count. Was thrilled when it did.
Both OA and Parklet — Thoughtful. Kept trying to find a more efficient answer but I’ll take both as a win
Parklet Thoughtful. Once again I learn a new word.
OA in a few minutes.
POLKA-AFTERTHOUGHT after getting hung up on THOROUGHFARE, but not seeing PARKLET. Also FOLKLORE, PLETHORA, KURTHA, and others.
RF and Kanishk, can’t wait to see you, my lovelies!
Good luck, all, and happy Sunday!
POLKA AFTERTHOUGHT here too very quickly after spending about a minute with THOROUGHFARE.
PARKLET – THOROUGHFARE in five minutes here – POLKA was the first word I spotted, but left it because it was too short.
Well done Irim, and RF, can’t wait to see you here!
OA for me. And just like that, the triumvirate is complete and triumphant! Well done besties. 🤗
