Fly Spy

As a fly on the wall of Larry's domain

I would witness first hand the cause of his pain

        Once I saw what I saw

        Larry's Mother-in-Law

I'm sure that  I'd never go back there again!

I sure hope Larry's mother-in-law has a sense of humor. I wonder if she even knows how she's portrayed on Poetry Soup. VERY funny limerick, Ralph. Hope you'll write one for the "Taxing Times" contest too. Love, Carolyn
