Her Stollen Heart

She was either a German or Pole and eating seemed mainly her goal But she ate so much cake her heart it did break And now she won’t quite fit in the hole

If you consume too many calories, you won't fit into anything with ease. Nice little limerick with descriptiveness and rhyming.

A fun write on a much more serious subject, well thought out - it works veryw ell as limerick. Thanks for your most welcome comments, re spellings no worries, is merely difference between English and American most of the time and have been picked up loads on them so I just double check now whereas because have lost in contests before for this reason, rightly or wrongly in past I have changed some - more often now I stand my ground whatever... (Most here are friends trying to help.)

Yikes. This seems to be rather bleak to be reading right after the 'holidays filled with food'. Very good limerick. Deb

Nigel, you could have written this one about my Polish mother. She ate too many sweets and died young of a heart attack. I could still appreciate the humor, though, and limericks always get my attention. You did a great job with this one. Best wishes, Carolyn
