A vile skater by the name of George Grace Laughed out loud when others fell on their face Karma gave him his reward When the ice in the lake thawed And George sank to the bottom without trace... In Karma's tail there's a powerful sting And with others always do the the right thing So do help them on their way Or a high price you will pay Don't matter if you're a pauper or king... Written 8th March 2021.

Definitely we will have to suffer the consequences of Karma. It is an irrefutable truth. No escape from it.... Rightly said Tom.

Hear,hear - how true, and how hard is it really to be kind, it should be inherent in us, but unfortunately we all hear and see it is not! Blessings, Jennifer.

Fantastic limericks Tom... George Grace lies at the bottom of the lake, And doesn't believe that he deserves his fate. He prays that he'll be saved, Says he will mend his ways, But, too late his destiny is fish bait.
