a young man

a young man took his lit' son to the lake
said "don't go near the water for my sake"
the ground soon bid a farewell
into the water he fell
now the youngling is fully wide awake

I am glad you wrote a limerick because they are short and easy to read. Congratulations on your win in my contest.

thanks, it was based on a true story. My son really did fall into a lake and now I tell his son about it.
