Poor old Buster, poor Sue, poor seller - it's all bad, done so good! You have a limerick mind gift - no doubt about that. Always enjoy them, Jan ... CayCay

And well she should have! A fine limerick. Jan, I would have written for lines 3 and 4: Buster died of old age so in a fit of rage. Thanks for reading my B poem. There's a name to this form but I can't recall it. Looking forward to your next poem. / M

It's sad Charma and thankfully its fiction, but I can imagine it happening if you take on an old dog. :-( hugs Jan xx

Sounds like she legitimately had a bone to pick with that seller. :) Once again, your humor has brought a smile to my day. Nicely done Jan.

Its a fiction write that is sad if it happened but I guess let the buyer beware springs to mind. I was originally going to write about a car called a 'duster' but thought I'd get litigation if I said one broke down after a week lol:-) hugs Jan xx
