"he's refraining from whines" -always a great choice; I wish everyone would do it.

This is a terrific limerick, Gershon. And, I can assure you that your good intentions are not only appreciated, they will stick wherever they land!

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
