Lawyer Limerick

There once was a lawyer sent to heaven
Given the best room a saint ever lived in
When I asked St. Pete why
He answered me quite sly
“That’s the first lawyer we’ve ever been given.”

Thank you for supporting my contest, Joe. My doctor visit is today and I hope you'll send some positive thoughts and prayers my way. I truly am doctorphobic, but you can't mess around with potential cancer. Love and best wishes, Carolyn
