You are seriously tongue-tied here, Russell. Congrats on your winning limerick. Mine didn't do too well although I had way too much fun writing it. Limericks were meant (in my opinion) to relieve stress! ha ha. All the best to you this week. Gwendolen

This is funny Russell. I am not very good at Limerick as I am not a funny writer really. But I am trying to be for contests. In regards to your comment on my poem I get writers block often. I need to step back and think about it and you are right something good will happen. I can never rush a poem.
