Great Limerick, Kim, and congrats on POTD. Reminded me of the conversation I heard when a man asked a friend about his father, and the friend replied he'd died. "How?" asked the man. His friend said that a train had ran over his finger. "His finger? And he died?". "yeah," said his friend,, "he was picking his nose at the time". Viv x

Congratulations Kim on POTD!! A funny limerick for sure. (Mark Twain was always very well-known for his one-liners too.) Best Wishes, Gary
