Paul, such a fun, witty limerick with a dash of satire sprinkled on for a zesty flavor. I love your first two lines of your frisky and ribbing imagery.. it gave me a giggle or two :) Love your title too. Such an excellent, intelligent write. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Many thanks, Susan. So pleased that you enjoyed:) I missed out on the result of this contest, but I guess it did not place since no comments have been forthcoming. ~ Warm wishes // paul

I suppose nobody writes letters to the press anymore using pen & paper; it's all done online. Regards // paul

Great limerick, Paul! Made me laugh out loud. Is that about someone in particular, I wonder... or just your imagination? All the best in the contest. Regards, John.
