Limerick Joke V

Our ship’s sinking and circled by shark So a lawyer jumped off of our ark The sharks swam away And observers will say Professional courtesy is their trademark

There be strange relationships everywhere. It's just that we are not aware of them because we are too innocent. I am beginning to put some of the pieces together. It's bizarre.

A wonder and a bliss, your lines have given my heart a kiss and I am glad on your page, I did not suffer a miss. An outright 7 dear colleague

You are too kind. Have a great day and keep the lines coming. You are a keen observer and philosopher--a real pleasure to read.

Hey--you are making my head swell. I will try. I must tell you, I liked what you wrote about golden corral. It's strange, but there is always a backstory to every story. At least one and sometimes more. So the person who uncovers it and writes about it has unearthed a very special treasure. It is something very thought provoking for others. So you have made a mark on me.

I am so happy to see you here!!!!! Yes life is strange. There are all kinds of bonds that just defy our imagination and sense of what should be. It is certainly an inspiration for us! There is a lot to make fun of!!

That is a complement that means a lot to me. I very much value your words, sir! I had heard this as a short story/joke years ago and wanted to make a limerick out of it. I am currently in joke mode as you may have noticed.
