Inspired In Limerick

In Moher Cliffs me wife bought some bling A green stone and Celtic knot ring What trilogy is this? Three circles of bliss? Could it be a sexual thing? Author’s note: This limerick was envisioned near Limerick. However, we rather prefer Galway to Limerick. There are some very helpful shopkeepers we’ve met on this trip. Hats off to Sheenagh at the cliffs, Pat selling wool in Dublin, and the many calm and kind people here who have a great sense of humor.

Too funny Tom. You are a very smart fellow! I read a few of your stories and found them interesting and thought provoking. I suppose anything could be explained with music.

Been to the cliffs many times Duke, I was there before they built the visitor centre, very busy there now. Glad you enjoyed it. Tom PS, good luck in the contest.

Tom, I can see why you would go back several times. You are so right....it is very busy. There are some trails away from the park and we did explore the area a bit. Everyone in this country seems so nice. There are a lot of people in the pubs drinking and it's interesting they stay off their cell phones. Real human to human interaction. Fun to watch.

Sounds like you had a wonderful journey, Duke. Ireland is on my list of places to visit... one day. Great limerick and written near the city make it special.

Thanks Lin. I am still away on this vacation for a few more days. It's given me a little time to write. I've missed this place and am very glad to meet you here. Thanks for the comment.
