Paul Callus Poet Limerick

Jess and Ness

There was a big serpent called Jess
Who lived on the banks of Loch Ness
At night he played chess
With Ness, though I guess
The game was devoid of finesse.

Carolyn Devonshire March 2, 2015 at 1:27 PM :D This gave me quite a giggle, Paul. I love the five-line rhyme employed in this limerick as well as the thought of Nessie playing chess! Always a 7 from me. Love, Carolyn Paul Callus March 2, 2015 at 2:56 PM Thank you Carolyn. Hope you are keeping well. Have just commented on your alphabet poem; surprised at its absence from the final list. In my eyes it's still a winner:) love // paul

Lindsay Laurie March 1, 2015 at 9:01 PM G'day Paul... Very good Paul, although I think Ness is better at playing hide and seek. Catch you soon Paul - Lindsay Paul Callus March 2, 2015 at 7:01 AM Yes, Lindsay, she's the best at hide and seek; only Jess knows her tricks and moves! Thanks for a welcome visit. // paul
