Limericks by nature are meant to be funny About big ears, crooked noses that are icky and runny No serious stuff Of that we get enough Need giggles to tickle our tummies © Jack Ellison 2015

I took your advice and gave a limerick a try Jack, with two more in the pipeline. Not so hard after all. Thanks for the encouragement. Hugs back. Diane L.
