Cousin Bell

Cousin Bell moved into a maisonette,
Was promptly told she could not have a pet
Not a cat or dog
Not a fish or frog
What about a gorilla she just met?

Well I'd approve any of them but, there is something kind of neat about a gorilla.

G'day Caren … a good fun limerick Caren. Can't see anything wrong with a Gorilla once you teach it to cook and clean - thanks Caren - Lindsay

Haha, that is so funny Caren, I laughed out loud! Mind you I am rather fond of Gorilla's, but not the human kind... Kindest thoughts from Ann x
