Blake found a webpage on the internet Smiling at wife, "this will be fun, I bet" Wife grudgingly came along Blake sang a fun little song “How much trouble can we really get?” “It will be grand…we can make our own wine” “And honey”, Blake said, “It is about time” So to the vineyard they went And too much money they spent Broke but hopeful, drove home feeling sublime The grapes poured out, his aspirations soared Website steps printed out, oh was he floored He stomped and stomped…yet instead Slipped in the tub…cracked his head After his service, the vile wine was poured

A very witty example for your contest, Natalie! I'm definitely inspired by your theme because living life to the fullest sometimes means taking risks. I sure hope to die a "fun" death. Still laughing at your limerick! Love, Carolyn
