Competition Limerick

You’ve pushed the boat out once again
You’re out there on the beach
With the one you chose
 to exchange your vows
Were the best ones out of reach?

Well you’ve done it now the deed is done
So make the best of it
Treat him mean 
and keep him keen
Avoid litigious writs.

Italian life is wonderful,
 all women wine and song,
But this thing I’ll teach, 
allow him one of each
and you won’t go too far wrong

best regards
David Wallace

Not familiar with this contest, David, but I don't think I'd want to be stranded on a beach if the "best ones" were out of reach. Gilligan will have to find another mate. LOL Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn
