I'M Stumped!

Why would someone fall in love with a stump

   I submit that there may be such a chump

      It seems so very bizarre

         But I suppose that there are

            Some blokes as gullible as Forrest Gump

Funny Limerick, Bob! Enjoyed the read this late afternoon. And thank you for your kind comment! The Bavarian Alps are a lovely scenery winter. I myself have lived some years in Frankfurt am Main and still like the place.Now I am living in Zittau, the most south-easterly city of Germany and only walks away from the Polish and Czech border. Also an interesting and nice place! All the best and have a nice week! Viele Gruesse, Gert

Outstanding entry, Chief. Enjoyed. Good luck. Just able to get back to the computer. Been having back problems. Currently taking PT for it twice a week. Not able to sit at the computer too long without it getting sore! Sleeping hasn't been too much fun either, trying to find a comfortable position to lie in. Oh well it's slowly getting better. Have a great week. Ralphie
