Ralph Taylor Poet Limerick

Bonny Scotland

My tour made me really content
I was pleased with where I was being sent
        The Air Force said go
        I couldn't say no
so over to Scotland I went.

The tour could not have been better
I knew SHE was the one when I met her
        It really was strange
        How my whole life would change
cause I knew I would never forget her.

My time in Scotland I'll never forget
I've never been to a nicer place yet
        I bought home a wife
        she's the love of my life
so to Scotland I owe a great debt.

Gerard Keogh Jr. August 6, 2010 at 10:18 AM You should emboss this and give it to your wife. I would. It is a fine tribute to her and you have my good wishes and the envy that comes from knowing that someone has found true love in this world. There seems to be so little these days. Thank you! Gerard.

Carolyn Devonshire August 4, 2010 at 9:04 AM All hail to a limerick master, Ralph! As for the Is She the One Contest, sometimes it takes judges a while to sort through entries and this contest had MANY, so Tavarus is probably trying to rank them now. Wishing you luck in that contest and hope you'll write a limerick for "Are You Bugged?" Love, Carolyn

Francine Roberts July 30, 2010 at 11:07 AM loved it, my mother came to Canada as a war bride from Scotland so I find this poem nostalgic.
