Heard a Who, Smelled a Who, Burned What

Horton smelled a Who, what about Hortense
  Did she have that special female 'sixth sense'
     It seems she was lacking
     But not 'cos of hacking
  'Hortense! Stop burning that freaking incense!'

Thanks, Kim... although with my advancing dementia, I ain't what I used to be, i.e., a laugh a second. ~ Groan

Fully enjoyed your limerick, my friend. Better watch out, too much incense can cause hallucinations.

Hmm. Good question. What AM I smoking? ~ I think my last cigarette was a candy cigarette before they stopped making them. Good thing I wasn't addicted! Thanks, Michelle

Any reference to one of my favourite movies is okay by me, GW. Strangely, I only mentioned ‘Horton hears a who’ to Ilene in the last day or so. Enjoyed. Terry
