Caren Krutsinger Poet Limerick

Give the New Kid a Chance

Sarah was smart and sassy and wore a tired-looking bun.
Extremely bright, she made the rest of our class look slow and dumb.
I despised her right away.
Would not invite her to play.
Got to know her years later.
And she was tremendously fun, so I was the dumb one.

Mahtab Bangalee November 29, 2018 at 11:21 PM tremendously fun makes you dumb! /// nice limerick Caren Krutsinger November 30, 2018 at 7:00 AM I always like to remind children that a stranger is sometimes a friend we do not know "yet", all strangers are not child-nappers or killers. Many sit next to you the first day of kindergarten and become friends.
