We once had a doggy named Dale That loved taking hold of his tail He’d chase it all-day In circles, he’d play- When able to snatch it he’d wail!

Poor Dale! I bet he never came to fully realize that that tail was his!! He's not the only one, though...many dogs think its fun to run after their tail. Congratulations on your podium finish, Sandra. Regards // paul

Truly laughing out loud, Sandra! This is what dogs do and I've never understood why, especially when they catch it and "wail." Great entry for Jan's awesome contest. Sending winning wishes to you. I don't know how she'll pick from so many terrific entries. Once I took limerick entries to a theater group and set a recorder on. It had a sound meter on it. Those who created the most cheers were the winners. Love, Carolyn

Thank you so much for your visit, Carolyn. I am pleased you think it's funny! Yes, I read many of the entries, and it will be hard for Jan to choose! Thank you so much for your positive comments and GL wishes for the contest. Hugs, Sanddra
