Tom Cunningham Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

A Limerick For Carolyn

Our Carolyn has now gone to her rest
At limericks she was one of the best
Full of humour and wit
Bawdy, well just a bit
And found time to host many a contest...




I know Carolyn loved humour and it shone through in the limericks she wrote.
