Oh how I love this limerick, especially as Gone with the Wind was one of my favorite movies. Another was Dr. Zhivago, love the old classics, and named my daughter Lara. I will show her this limerick of yours. Thanks for sharing.

This is excellent in form, delivery and content. The playful manipulation of words is witty and clever, I'm sure Lara must have been wearing a smile after reading this. Emile.
