Dishwashing Limerick

Oh for the assistance of machinery As my wife and I suffer so bitterly From wet soapy hands That slip on plates and pans Which occasionally crack most disagreeably

You've got the right idea. I enjoy my dishwasher. It saves me so much work. I can't hardly make it without one. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

Funny...can hear those plates breaking from here:) Personally I can't stand dishwashers; I much prefer to use my bare hands. Regards // paul

Congratulations on writing your first limerick! You did well Scott! I have never written even one. I just can't seem to think of anything humorous that would make a good limerick. Cheers, Connie ; ) 7

Superb limerick, Scott! Unlike other so called "limericks" this actually reads as a limerick should - Top marks! My very best regards and well wishes. :) john

Great humour Scott... I have a dishwasher - rarely use it - much prefer to wash the dishes and look out onto my garden:-) hugs Jan xx

Break a few more and she might give in and say you need a dishwasher.
