That was an enjoyable read. I remember learning limericks in school. When you find a word that rhymes and goes with the flow of the poem, it's so satisfying! I wrote a poem for my daughter's wedding that rhymed and it was so much fun. Thanks for the reminder that rhyming poems need to be brought back from storage!

Thank you, Ilona. The older I become, the more I try to learn and the more I try to write.

The M effin F A schools rejected me. It gave me an excuse to live abroad for the better part of the next decade.

I didn't, but in retrospect, I should have. I have enough bad habits and didn't need to pick up new ones.
