Hi Howard, LOL, Limericks are funny. I just read an awesome Irish Limerick from DUKE. :) You should write a Limerick about an Irish Man, then send it to me through, soup mail or post it. thanks for the reply

responding to what you told me below. Isn't it strange how really smart people can be so silly?

It is incredible and immensely exaspirating. I'm wondering if the person I was referring to is wondering how thick headed I am believing so much of what I read. Though with this climate change situation at this point it seems like being hit in the face with a pie. How can you ignore it?!

You know what they say, "A rising tide floats all boats." I guess we're all going to have to have boats. Thanks David.

That is what I call good KARMA (well for those of us who care about climate change and BAD Karma for HIM). GREAT limerick.

Thanks Andrea. I've got a doubter in my house visiting for the holiday. He and this contest coincided to form the perfect storm of inspiration. He's a really smart guy!..... go figure....
