Hello Charles … nicely written. Actually I'm like a fairy elephant when I dance, and that's only if someone spiked my drink - eg: a barman with alcohol - thanks Charles - Lindsay

I love the way you have taught us to remember how to pronounce messina. A cute missive for sure, Charles!

You might not be a ballerina, but your graceful charm makes up for it.. :)) Awesome animated imagery with excellent rhythm makes for a smooth giggle-liscious limerick, Charlie. Warmest wishes always my friend.. ~Susan
