Retail Therapy - Poor Husband

An over-burdoned wife from old Sydney Town, Life on top of her and feeling quite down, So, retail therapy off she went, On Master Card two thousand spent, Now her husband is wearing a frown. Alternate last line options: 1. Now her husband wears a frown. 2. Now her husband's feeling down. 3. Now hubby makes a whimpering sound.

I love writing limericks John - have posted one today lol - I find them simple to write as long as it is not for a contest where it is expected the meter is correct but I do try and get the syllable count correct on my fun ones:-) Hugs Jan xx

Hello Jan, I only wrote my first limerick about 3 weeks ago. I found it incredibly hard to write. However they are starting to flow now. I'm so glad you enjoyed the poem and the numerous endings. Kind regards---John -------thankyou
