A Rising Tide For Contest

There once was a climate change doubter
He really was quite a shouter
Until late one night
The high tide just right
Found the beach house he loved under water

White Sage Date: 1/1/2016 6:53:00 AM well written this is, I can't imagine the look on his face after seeing his beach house... Login to Reply Howard Tunick Date: 1/2/2016 6:37:00 AM Gives you a real giggle doesn't it! Thanks white sage.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 12/26/2015 7:50:00 PM responding to what you told me below. Isn't it strange how really smart people can be so silly? Login to Reply Howard Tunick Date: 12/28/2015 12:49:00 PM It is incredible and immensely exaspirating. I'm wondering if the person I was referring to is wondering how thick headed I am believing so much of what I read. Though with this climate change situation at this point it seems like being hit in the face with a pie. How can you ignore it?!

David Fisher Date: 12/26/2015 2:10:00 PM Those high tides sometimes spoil all the fun...good luck in contest Login to Reply Howard Tunick Date: 12/26/2015 6:00:00 PM You know what they say, "A rising tide floats all boats." I guess we're all going to have to have boats. Thanks David.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 12/25/2015 4:10:00 PM That is what I call good KARMA (well for those of us who care about climate change and BAD Karma for HIM). GREAT limerick. Login to Reply Howard Tunick Date: 12/25/2015 11:38:00 PM Thanks Andrea. I've got a doubter in my house visiting for the holiday. He and this contest coincided to form the perfect storm of inspiration. He's a really smart guy!..... go figure....
