Jilted

So much for the lady from Toledo She had oodles of available dough She slipped quietly away One beautiful spring-like day And, I hear she has another poor beau.

I need a market! LOL. No one would publish my limericks...maybe Jack Ellison's or Gershon's. I just write a limerick when I can't think of anything else to write. They come pretty easy when you stop to think about it.

Yeah, it just didn't pay for her to stick around with me. Thanks for the visit and the comment, Gershon. I'm glad I could make you smile.
