    how cute is this little Limerick ,,,, every time I get things out to the dumpster I think well I could give this to to so and so. Though a lot of time I do put things where someone else could find them. My books I always take to library and put them in the drop box ;}

    Hi, Joann, this is really cute. As for what Debs is saying down here, all you have to do is say something like "My dear, we must clean out this stuff" same idea but now it's the right meter. I think the rest of it is very good. You are almost spot on with the rest of the poems' meter. soupmail right away, something else I want to tell you!!

    Oh, honey please clean out this stuff/for finding more space is real tough/your old basebal bat/ and my flower'd hat/ .... you must start with a soft sound oh HONey, as opposed to HONey..limerick as only 2 acceptable meters OR it's not a limerick ;) BUT Linda may not care and/or list as verse and there's no problem at all! Hope vacations going well! Light & Love

    Haha! I'm sure this happens every day all over! You end up keeping stuff for years and NEVER use! Then bring it out for the next garage sale and put it away again, JUST IN CASE YOU MIGHT NEED IT SOME DAY in 2027! LOL Love and hugs, Jack

    My ladyfriend has too much sentimental value for her things. We have a lot of clutter in our place as a result. Good double limerick here.
