A Joke On Ellie!

A Joke on Ellie! There once was a boatman named “Ellie” Laughter jiggled his belly like jelly. He was a fun loving bloke. That loved to play jokes. Guess who played one on him; it was Kelly! The joke that she played was great fun. After his shave and a hair comb was done, She carefully groomed his big feet. His snoring soon meant he did sleep. Toenails UN-grimed, painted bright red…deed done! © Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen February 22, 2010 Poetic form: Limerick x2 Written in memory of my Grandfather. Kelly is fictitious (smiles) but the story is not.

What a great double limerick, Dane ann and I think that was a clever prank pulled by whoever painted his toenails red! LUv, Andrea
