I love limericks or poems about Einstein. I'm a little perplexed about the third line: "A board in lace of my bra"? Thanks so much for stopping to read my humorous nonsense. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M

I'm cracking up......"a board in place of my bra"........ I love your sense of humor!! (Do you have any extra boards I can borrow?) !!!! Ps......a big thank you, Tammy for my placement in the Bio contest!!! So honored !!

Thank you Carrie. You know how it is with age. Without the board they would be to my knees. Ply board works the best it's nice and then just watch out splinters!
