Hammock Thermal-Dynamic

Danny just loved to while the time away
Couldn't be bothered to see where he stayed
   In his hammock relaxed
   His brain not overtaxed
Fell deep asleep -- froze to death in Norway

Congratulations on your win. You had me at "relaxed." Your, "Fell deep asleep -- froze to death in Norway" is way toooooo funny. You made me laugh. Have a wonderful day and weekend.........

True and pure! Sounds like I should run --- away from politics as fast as I can. Thanks, Sam!

GW, very cleverly done. Freezing to death in Norway in summer, we could not have imagined, sitting here in my part of the world. Congratulations for your placement in my contest. Best. Mohan.

Krish, thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed this limerick. Stay warm (and out of Norwegian hammocks!) Smiles, Gershon

I guess summer in Norway is a bit colder! I have actually tried to relax in hammocks before but getting out of one is an exercise in gymnastics (for me anyway) Best of luck in the contest, gw!

Hello Gershon … no more worries for Danny now. Can't imagine it was something he meant, but a hammock provides a peaceful resting place - thanks Gershon - Lindsay

There you go, Lindsay. And a hammock's cheaper than a coffin, any day. No muss, no fuss. lol. Thanks, Lindsay.
