He Ashed For It

There was a firefighter named VanHoof
Who believed he was fireproof.
One day pride got the better of him
He acted when his chances were slim.
Thus in an infernal VanHoof went poof.

Judy Konos Date: 5/13/2015 9:31:00 AM Thanks for the LOL...I needed it today! Login to Reply Paul Schneiter Date: 5/13/2015 10:15:00 AM You're certainly welcome, Judy. I hope everything is OK. A friend, who is quite a wit, told me the other day,"Mortality is overrated." I think he has a point.

Glad I got to read this today! :) Login to Reply Paul Schneiter Date: 5/7/2015 9:07:00 PM I value and appreciate your supportive comment, Kim. I suppose limericks are poetry, but they are not of the significance or relevance of real poetry—the kind that you so admirably write.

Lindsay Laurie Date: 5/7/2015 3:20:00 AM G'day Paul... up in flames aye. Its hard to tell anybody that the fire is hot so they must learn the hard way - Thank you Paul - Lindsay Login to Reply Paul Schneiter Date: 5/7/2015 3:23:00 PM Thank you, Lindsay. It's kind of you to take time to comment on what, alas, is a less than sizzling limerick. * * * Time for a joke, told by Phyllis Diller (remember her?) It goes like this: "You know you're old when your doctor tells you they have discontinued your blood type." Have a perfectly wonderful day/evening.

That takes a charitable heart, for which all of us on this site should be grateful. I know I am.
