October, 1582

The Julian calendar threw
Spring’s equinox path far askew 
But Gregory’s shift
Of ten days closed the rift
So Easter eggs roll now on cue

    this is wonderful!! I was able to find where I left off. So I will try to see a bunch of these now. By the way, perfect meter on this one. I think it 's not difficult to do limerick meter, but I find very few poets here who "have it" and YOU have it!!!

    That's what Pope Gregory did for us back then. You have described everything well in this limerick.
