Charitable Me

A woman crying, was looking around.
It appears that she lost one hundred pound,
so I think it is fair
that I show her I care -
I gave her ten from the hundred I found.

Oh so clever and witty! I've been smiling about it ever since I read it. I made my living as a writer of fund-raising materials, so I readily identified with it. Hugs, Paul

G'day Sandra … I didn't write limericks until about three years ago. I thought it would be so simple; how wrong I was, but I'm starting to get the hang of it now. It's a pleasure to give you a giggle or two Sandra - Lindsay

You are the epitome of generosity, my friend. I suggest a monthly gift. You'll feel better as you go inside. And she'll look at you in a new light. LOL. Thanks, Lindsay!
