Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

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

Paula Goldsmith June 19, 2020 at 11:04 AM 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......... Gershon Wolf June 19, 2020 at 6:30 PM Paula, thanks for letting me know that this tickled your funny-bone! Appreciated. Cheers, Gershon

Sam Kauffman June 18, 2020 at 11:35 PM Ah, the true (and pure) Gershon emerges again. Congratulations. Really made me laugh. Great work my friend! Gershon Wolf June 19, 2020 at 6:30 PM True and pure! Sounds like I should run --- away from politics as fast as I can. Thanks, Sam!

Mohan Chutani June 18, 2020 at 8:19 PM 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. Gershon Wolf June 18, 2020 at 8:37 PM Thank you so much, Mohah, for your generous evaluation of my limerick. I appreciate the opportunity you gave me and all of us on the Soup by sponsoring this great contest. Hats off to you! Warmest wishes, Gershon

Krish Radhakrishna June 7, 2020 at 6:22 AM That cold Norway wind and hammock don’t mix! Clever and funny as always from you , Gershon! Best of luck in the contest! Gershon Wolf June 7, 2020 at 1:04 PM Krish, thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed this limerick. Stay warm (and out of Norwegian hammocks!) Smiles, Gershon

Michelle Faulkner June 6, 2020 at 2:42 PM 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! Gershon Wolf June 6, 2020 at 10:37 PM Thanks, Michelle. Here's to resting in a hammock in warmer climes... :) gw

Caren Krutsinger June 6, 2020 at 6:46 AM I like this so much! I kept thinking I should try to write a limerick for this contest, but now I feel you have done a great job for both of us. So thank you! Gershon Wolf June 6, 2020 at 10:36 PM Hey, thank YOU so much for your support, Caren! YOU DA WOMAN! Light and Joy, Caren.

Lindsay Laurie June 5, 2020 at 11:54 PM 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 Gershon Wolf June 6, 2020 at 10:35 PM There you go, Lindsay. And a hammock's cheaper than a coffin, any day. No muss, no fuss. lol. Thanks, Lindsay.

Andrea Dietrich June 5, 2020 at 5:44 PM summer and freezing in norway. haha. Great whimsy. Gershon Wolf June 5, 2020 at 6:28 PM Heh, heh. Maybe Danny slept a bit too long though... Smiles, Gershon

Richard Lamoureux June 5, 2020 at 10:21 AM Oh my, how unfortunate. Another cleverly expressed limerick. ;0)
