Puzzle Limerick

    Another Orphan 

There stood a pretty orphan tree 

A growing child that could not be 

Flower on its top 

Growing would not stop 

How could this be, child at his knee

 - This week, we were asked to to go formal: Write a limerick, a ballad or a sonnet – or to write on the subject of formality.

 - I chose the limerick with a five line syllable count of 8,8,5,5,8.  Limericks are usually written about persons, often something bad or funny.  Since this one is about a plant using the identity of a child I call it a "Bad Limerick".
