There was a lady from Connet Who got a bee in her bonnet. She untied the string To be rid of the thing But her mouth opened upon it.

G'day Paul... there's no sting in the tale in your limerick Paul, it's the other end - Lindsay

Ah ha . . . makes one wonder if the bee got properly oriented inside the poor woman's mouth or esophagus. No matter. As always, Lindsay, I value and appreciate your comments.

Hmmm . . . what happened to my earlier response, I wonder. In any event, comments from you, Jan, are always music to my ears. Blessings on you and your loved ones (accompanied by hugs). Paul

Thank you, Theresa. Writing the limerick was worth the effort inasmuch as you got a laugh out of it. Please know of my appreciation for taking time to stop by. hugs xxx Paul
