Clothes Make the Woman

There was a young lady named Dela,
Who always dressed well for her feller.
What did Delaware?
I really don't care,
But I think she should have dressed weller.

Too clever here, Mr. William and very original with the use of a state name ... here's a challenge: how many states could you limerick? LOL ... maybe I'll try this too. Anyway, Welcome to the Soup and they've done a good thing selecting this to be featured this week! Congratulations to you and have a warm, wonderful holiday and a great '09 !!
