Back To My Roots
Laura has inspired me to go back to the beginning
And write like I did at the start
About life, and love, and the passions we share
Bout the roles we all play a part
Limericks are a lot of fun and so easy to write
But it's time to return to my roots
Going back and reading my earlier compositions
Has really inspired me to reboot
Honestly have enjoyed my long run of limericks
Providing many giggles and guffaws
The time has come to get back to my story telling
Though I'm still addicted to applause
Sure don't mean to sound arrogant or egotistical
That's not what I'm trying to say
Got so much inside, just bursting to get out
Quatrains provide me the way
So Laura, I thank you for inspiring me to write
Bout life, love and passion we share
But trust me, the limericks are alive and well
As for Depends, wear an extra pair
