Early Morning Warning

There once was this lady I was desiring
Upon meeting she became so damn tiring
She kept me up all night
And fatigued I took fright
I hope that it was blanks I was firing

James, this is perfect. A 10+. The meter, the words and the 'laugh out loud' ending. I love this. Thanks for all the kind comments you have left recently about my work. I am trying to catch up on reading on the site. So many good poems lately. But this is one of the best limericks I have ever read. It needs to perhaps be submitted somewhere... I think it's that good. Best wishes. Love, Deb
