Enjoyed this lim from start to finish, Bob, especially the 'crease' pun from the hockey world. Congrats on your win, my friend ~ John

G’day Bob … very good Bob. At least he stopped the puck in its track. Hope he was thanked for that - thanks Bob - Lindsay

Love it, Bob! At least Clyde didn't lose his teeth. I used to go to NY to see the Rangers play and found many of the players never "smiled." LOL Great entry for the contest! Winning wishes coming your way. Hugs, Carolyn

Thanks Tom - glad it gave you a laff. I suspect old Clyde has a permanent part in his hair! Best on you - Bob

As an avid hockey fan of the San Jose Sharks...loved this one. At games, one has to be aware of flying pucks. A super limerick, Bob. I just read it to my daughter over the telephone! Maria loved it as well. " Zamboni Pangie" xx An added laugh...the validation code for this was, no kidding..,DEM. That, plus the limerick has this poetess.... in total hysterics! Need I say more?

Thank you so much, Pangie. Glad it gave you and Maria a laugh. If I can bring out emotions with my concoctions, then I have done my job as a struggling writer - Bob
