Notes About The Poem

Edited by Jan Allison with much appreciation!

Joe

there once was a fella named Joe
whose hairstyle's a wonky Afro
to the barber Joe went
Who repaired his head dent
Joe returned bald headed like Moe!

- Many people look good with bald heads... besides, it will probably grow back :) - A great limerick, Karen :) - (I find limericks difficult to write - but, I see you got help from an expert :) - hugs

Yes Jan is a jewel. I often “try” with no help. When I do get help I always credit the poet. So the ones with no credit I tried alone lol.

Bald might be better than bad hair. I like the flowing rhyme.
