Valsa What an interesting limerick! It's about two friends, Michael and Nichole, and the miscommunication that happens over Nichole's new automobile. The comedic muddle over the car's name and the lighthearted conversation between the two protagonists were nicely represented. The informal tone of the poem's wording is reminiscent of a chat between friends.

Dear Valsa, your poem is so much fun! The contrast between city & country (Nichole showing off vs. Michael's innocence) is hilarious. "Tea vs. petrol" is perfect! Love your playful twist on a classic joke. You're a clever poet! - Blessings, Daniel

Hi Valsa, Nice pun in your limerick! Maybe a car won't start with 'Tea';, but it helps me get started in the morning. J :)
