Guess Who This Is About

There's a poet gun-shy 'bout limericks
He sure wants to get over that right quick
  So he's penning these lines
  He's refraining from whines
Hoping that his good intentions will stick

This is the season to branch out, I guess -- like the branches of the Chanukah menorah. ~ A Stretch, but...

If this isn't about me, my first name doesn't start with 'G!' (Yes, it is, of course.)... So glad you like this limerick, Debra. Happy Days, Gershon
