Thankfully its just fiction but I can imagine it happening! I woke up a few days ago with the first 4 lines and then finally finished the other day but I try not to post more than one poem a day so this was on hold lol:-) hugs jan xx

Love chicken and fish, but not raw, unless its genuine shushi or oysters. Good limerick, Jan. As for golf, I've never played the game and all that walking is not for me. Thanks for stopping by. / M

Thanks Eric, I have been on stage a couple of times with my poetry - the last one was in front of over 600 people including my elderly mum - will never forget it. They had my name as 'Allinson' in the programme and a friend of ours was at the performance. I asked him what he thought of my poems and he said oh were you there ... he hadn't recognised me in a dress and heels lol:-) hugs jan xx
