Apologies to the Limerick pros, humorous poetry is not a strongpoint of mine. Actually, humor itself is not really a strongpoint of mine lol.

Congratulations on your win. A cute write. To bad you cannot send this to Hemingway. (I know he dead.) Bet it would give him a chuckle like it did me. Have a Great/blessed day................
