He is six feet under with his proposal! LOL. If he loved her, this would have been there 5 or 10 year anniversary.

Phew… a ‘skin of the teeth’ reprieve. Now all he has to do is marry a supermodel and Dina will be pig sick. ;-)

Yeah. Like he could marry Bill Clinton or Barack Obama. They're super models of unadulterated narcissism, for example.

A fun Limerick write. His time/roses both ran out. Better luck next time. Don't wait so long.... Have a blessed day writing away in 24................

Another interesting poem. Thank you for this limerick. Limericks are very enjoyable. And 'top o' the morning on this New Year's Day.

Nicely done, Gershon. Perhaps Dave needs to learn to follow his instincts? enjoy your day, Sara

A great Limerick, my friend. Guess that old saying, 'Good things come to those that wait' doesn't work.

Guess not... Perhaps that's why it's an 'old saying.' Time to refresh it...

Dave has kept Dina waiting too long. Dina saw their time was gone, She had a strong instinct. That she and Dave would become extinct.
