Notes About The Poem

My daughter, who inspired this poem, sent me the photo she generated with the poetry text almost 14 years after original publication.

It Ain'T Cheap

The stable's my favorite spot
I can walk jump cantor and trot
With horse--my friend true
I take ribbons of blue
For the cost of owning a yacht!

Duke, I got my mind set on a boat. LOL, Since I can't afford a yacht. I mentioned it to my hubby, he laughed at me. He does not understand, how important it is for me to have a Yacht. I like horses too, but I'd rather swim with dolphins in hopes to see jaws one day. LOL. Love the limerick. Thanks for sharing your favorite spot through a limerick. Love SKAT

Yes, a good life does not require a yacht or private jet!

well, it has to be very satisfying for you, if it isn't cheap. Good limerick, Duke.
