Holiday Limerick

Desert dune damage, feet wrapped in gauze,
To sue, the lawyer thought he had cause,
Yet the relevant section,
Escaped his detection,
--There was no sandy clause.

Maybe Santy Clause? Liked ... shalom is, thankfully, more than mere peace.

Global warming.... who knows - maybe sand dunes at the North Pole?

Top of the afternoon to you Doug. And yes, happy holiday too. This was the smile and chuckle for the day. Thank you for that. Loved the incorporation of the legal matter. What a riot. Well done and stated.

Ha, obviously no sanity clause either. :) Funny and clever Doug.

Chris, there is a limit, though. It's really constraining, often, to have to get all necessary elements in. I try and shoehorn them all in... Ended up having to take a big hammer and pound on it.
