Hoisted By My Own Petard

To go out today would be a farce Bitterly cold and sunshine sparse I wanted to play But there was no way I would certainly land on my **** 7/7/2013

Hi Russell, your Limerick is well written, and I could certainly identify with it as my hubby did this last winter when he slipped on ice behind our shed and ended up with a rotator cuff injury! Nicely done. Also, thank you so much for your visit and nice comment on my poem, "Forgiveness." Sandra

Russell, I loved this. It's right up my alley, since I would most definitely fall on my butt on a day like that (I'm clumsy). I very much appreciated your good, clean humour! Congrats on your win in my contest!

This Witty, humorous limerick gave me a chuckle and remembrance of my years in UTah where slipping on the ice and landing on the arse in the winter was quite common :)
