Notes About The Poem

For Jan

FOR JAN, MY SUPPORTIVE FRIEND :) 

I have one silly friend on Manhattan
Or is it Mad Hatter or Isle of Man?
I keep forgetting
But she won't letting
Or is it let me, in any case, I am her man.

This was a good-for-nothing limerick
But I have an excuse: I am sick!

***

With an enormous wink
from your second husband

Now I'm getting a bit jealous of these tributes and may stick my shoulders back and my nose high in the air! I'm totally kidding. Your limerick is darn cute ending with such a silly bit of goofy - love that. I know you made Jan's day, if not longer. Your giving nature clears so much room for your own blessings to fill! CayCay

I think you only saw that one little limerick I wrote for the contest :) But Jan and I wrote a whole long marriage limerick series together, in email only. Maybe, one day, Jan will post it, or not :)
