Jack Horne Poet Limerick

Anita and My Antique

I watched as she dusted and sneezed;
'It's worthless, I'm certain,' she wheezed.
I thought I'd be rich -
oh, life is a b.tch!
(My desk got a clean, so I'm pleased...)

written 26th April for Joseph's contest - about Anita Manning from The Antique Roadshow

Andrea Dietrich April 29, 2022 at 8:48 AM haha. Good one, Jack, Wish I had time here. I am way behind at Soup and STILL not caught up, but gotta get to that school meeting

Sara Kendrick April 27, 2022 at 10:04 AM Quite a creation for the contest. Reads like it is a good contender to me. Way to go. I appreciate the visits to my pages. I guess we all thought we would be rich, but most people are not, but neither are they really poverty stricken. Sara
