Goodbye To Mrs. Spratt

Goodbye to Mrs. Spratt By Elton Camp Although Jack Spratt his diet may hate Shouldn’t have a problem with weight And he won’t have any trouble at all With his level of the bad cholesterol Because of what Jack puts on his plate But Mrs. Spratt may be another story And far too soon, she will go to glory Her state of health just can’t be right Because her type of food is a fright She’ll never be wrinkled and hoary (This change was due to a reader's suggestion. Thanks.)

Funny...I would try to add a line to each stanza and make it a double limerick. Keep the pen flowing. Dan C
