Re: Can We Do a Limerick Together???
When poor Bets was sick in her bed,
Nose running and poor aching head...
And an annoying cough,
Which she couldn't shake off,
How she wished she was healthy instead.

Brilliant limerick all round!

hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

This is a song, from a 1940's show/movie called 'Lady in the dark -
There once was a girl named Jenny,
Whose virtues were varied and many,
Excepting that she was inclined,
Always to make up her mind,
This story proves a moral,
With which you cannot quarrel,
As you will find... etc etc
Anyway - back to the limerick! -
