HA HA! Thank you for starting my day with a cup of coffee and THIS for a very BIG smile! Perfect little limerick and who among us doesn't love the one that makes us laugh! My favorite effort with this, is that, the poem is a vehicle for reminding us of hygiene in public and offers a delightful element of surprise. It's a 7 Jack & a Fav.

There once was a guy named Jack... For writting he had a great knack... new ideas were always circling back... They flew thru the air until him they whacked... And do you know he's part of that famous Wulf pack... Who keeps us on that good old laugh track... Couldn't help myself...I was on a roll... apparently one that needs more Caffeine... LOL

Jack Ellison
Date: 9/1/2015 4:35:00 PM
