A Cherry On Top

There once was a dancer who stripped
for the five-dollar bills I gripped;
she put them in her garter,
for some more she worked harder...
now she's eating ice cream - hand dipped!

Terrific limeric, George. So funny thnking of her having to "work harder" for some bills than others. Miranda will love this! Very cool (no pun intended with the ice cream)! Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
