A Drunken Spider

A Drunken Spider

There once was a huge golden-silk spider.
Bobby Joe ran to sit down beside her.
He threw some sticks at her web.
Her frustrations did not ebb.
So, he sprayed on a liquor elixir.

7-21-10 Constance's "Traffic Jam" Really a classic, visual Limerick, Dane. It gave me the inspirations for a "Toronto Classic" double. This one of your's should be well into the winner circle. Thanks for your comments, they are important to me. Agape, Moses
