All Night Epic

What I used to do all night, Takes me now all night to do; For what I knew was right, Is now too late to do. But doing what I used to, May look as tho I might; But I find that what I now do, Is only sleep at night. The mailman came and told me his tale of woe in the first two lines so I finished it.

I love limericks. Naughty Mailman. I have done your poem. I hope you like it? It's called "I met her"

This is really cute. I like to say, "I haven't been kissed in so long I've forgotten whether you're suckin' in your breath or blowin' it out." Cute write. It gave me a giggle. God Bless, JB

Clever way to finish his statement! I used to sleep 8 hours a night, now I'm sleeping 4 or 5. Strange times for me!!
