Dry Skin

There was a young lady from Clyde
Whose skin was all puffy and dried
She smeared it with grease
Suntanned it in Greece
And now it's all puffy and fried

Great, :) , reminded me of that episode of Seinfeld where Kramer was sun bathing on the roof smeared in butter. And then Newman, started envisioning him as a roasted turkey on a platter. :) Congrats. Loved it.

This has what in my opinion is the traditional and best rhythmic count for a limerick, Larry and you definitely hit my funny bone!
