Hi Jan, These are some funny lines! You sure can write some limericks whether they're traditional or not. Why did you remove it? Alexis

I wrote the poem for the contest and then I've written another one which i think is better - you know me I can't resist the limerick form:-) hugs Jan xx

Thanks Gershon:-) i originally put this in the contest but changed my mind for the one today. I've written several more using the form Mr Viv wanted but I will stick with the tent poem for the contest:-) hugs jan xx

Oh my goodness Jan, how do you get your ideas! Thanks for the chuckle.

I have no idea where the poems come from Agnes i often just wake with these silly ideas and have to scribble down the poem which is usually syllable perfect in every line.:-) hugs jan xx

Jan, please write the belly button fluff too, and be sure and describe the greasy feeling of it. Sweet poem; for the 7th graders posing as grandmother's, this is WONDERFUL. (Sing that last word, Jan).

Thanks Caren, I may have to do a beely button fluff one.... but I'm a little concerned - how do you know it feels greasy lol lol lol :-) hugs jan xx

Brilliant limerick Jan, this certainly cheered me up thank you, so I’m sure it will put a smile on Viv’s face too, good luck in contest. :))

Jan Allison
Date: 4/9/2018 10:11:00 AM

lol Tom, I hope its witty enough for Viv, i have 2 or 3 more I could have used - I rarely write the traditional line as in a way I feel like I'm plagerising :-) hugs Jan xx

Jan, you do have a unique sense of humour. LOL

Jan Allison

I have inherited the 'chapman' sense of humour on my mum's side of the family, her brother and sister both wrote poetry especially limericks, it just took my hubbies cancer for me to start writing:-) hugs jan xx
