Obese Mackian

There once was a man from Mac, who was loving, but oh so fat. When he ate so much, he fell off his crutch, he found that his food didn't love back! NOTE: This was actually the first limerick I ever wrote. Not a favorite, but I still enjoy it... I like how with the limerick I have a great excuse to come up with complete non-sense. Like a fictional town named Mac who's inhabitants are called "Mackians".

Thanks Laura! Not my favorite limerick I've written, but it opened the door to future escapades into Crazy Town :)

Splendid and adequate for a sound mind. This gave me more light to my soul and has stimulated a self- expression from me, serving as the fuel to my outburst.

I'm concerned for you Timothy, it has been a long time and you went from being super active to just dissapearing.

Limericks are supposed to be silly, witty and funny and you delivered! Great job. Read my 'Birds -n- Bees" limerick, was 2nd one I wrote and sadly never judged. Hugs
