I am trying to figure out what a bald pate has to do with cargo --- but the rhyme sure works out! Cheers, Gershon

I was tying the last line to the first and second line, they rhyme, and they all relate, in my Limerick mind at least. Two people traveling around with no luggage, they probably pulled their hair out, I guest. I'm laughing like crazy right now. rotfl Thank for the fun time, Gershon.

Good one. I guess they did not have to carry very many or no hair care products. LOL..I enjoyed reading. Thanks for the visit to my page. I have finished my work "The Unpainted Clapboard House" if you care to read the finished product. Sara

A well-crafted Limerick, Bill. At the very least, it's better to snag a wind:) have a lovely weekend
