Sue promised to show him her beaver Her beaver - he didn’t believe her! When Sue got him home She started to moan … Her beaver had died from a fever Sue’s beaver was covered in sweat It was too late to call out the vet She got out a spade The beaver was laid To rest at a pretty inlet 09~11~16

Jan, great limerick, both funny and sad, we have a lot of beavers in Canada, in fact they are endangered and they are even on some of our coins ~

Jan Allison

We only have beavers in our wildlife park not anywhere else on the Island - such a shame they are endangered in your area of the world:-( hugs Jan xx

Jan, everyone knows that a beaver with a fever is not a happy receiver. This is my kind of limerick! Extremely funny with just a hint of vulgarity.

Jan Allison
Date: 9/11/2016 3:25:00 PM

LOL Thanks Daniel - I saw Arthur and Tim mention beaver's in comments or poems recently and I couldn't resist coming up with a cheeky little limerick:-) hugs Jan xx
