You are a funny lady, Jan! This should be printed in a magazine of limericks, it's that good. The 2nd line is the funniest. Made my day. We're just feeling the final winds of hurricane Jose. We escaped all serious damage. / M

The prickly pear sat over in that chair...coy smile to make you disappear...thoughts of rhyme and pace...judge with stoic face...ignorance of the rules so unfair

Jan Allison
Date: 9/22/2017 9:52:00 AM

Great reply Tim:-) hugs jan xx

Ah! The good old Limerick. Liked this one Jan. The title reminded me of BBC children's programme that always started with these words, followed by: then I'll begin. Take care. Tony x

Jan Allison
Date: 9/22/2017 9:51:00 AM

We are showing our age Tony lol it was called 'Listen with Mother' and that is where I got the idea for the title :-):-) !!! Your comment has made my day!!:-) hugs jan xx
