Failure

I once knew a gardener named Claire, Whose orchard I tried to compare, But I quickly knew, The plums that I grew, Could not match her gigantic pear.

Hello Judy... I'm not really a limerick writer, but I've been influenced by two blokes to give it a go... young Jack Ellison and John Wulf; a couple of sparks to light up my day. Thank you Judy - Lindsay
