Pots Of Gold

Two leprechauns were out to play
and Patrick just happened to say
"Mine's bigger than yours
I know that because
I saw yours when out yesterday."
"Your eyes have deceived you" Sean said
"or else you are wrong in the head,
stop telling your lies
for mine's the best size
it's plain that your good sense has fled."
"No, yours is far smaller than mine
you must have been slurping the wine,
though you may protest
mine's simply the best
no matter how much you may whine."
They then set them down side by side
and both were as deep as were wide,
equal honours they hold
as their Pots of Gold
were treasures that caused them both pride.

Ha ha if it wasn't for the title ,this might be a bit too naughty
.
I love your rhymes but you probably know that by now.
This is a celebration which I am learning of only recently ,here on this site and through WhatsApp messages.
What is it, they were bragging about?
I understand you are in doubt,
It's just containers of gold
So if truth needs to be told
Jabo no rules did flout.
@much2say ...I thought like you too

@responsiveme Thanks for giving me a fine limerick in reply. Lol - no rules flouted though it's a pity. I would have liked for people to not know what I was talking about until the final verse
. But the admin here are somewhat prudish so I put that title on it.

Yes, I've noticed that as well @jaboUK I think a lot of it has to do with whether or not someone decides to report a discussion.
Yours have never been offensive like some of the garbage I have seen written on this site. I don't know if those got deleted but those should have just because they were trashy.

It seems that the matter of size
Is often dependant on eyes
When men are concerned
Large sizes they yearn
When gold or else is the prize

Whichever way you have nailed it and yes I know I was trying to write something and it sounded out of place too so I changed my mind instead.
