Thank you, John. Your characterization of the limerick as "whimsically wicked" strikes me as wonderfully apropos.

Crikey Paul... Lennie has been initially too nice and fed her too many sugary pies by the looks of it... I suppose he'll get some peace now while she licks herself clean - Lindsay

Lindsay, your comment reminds me of a Timex watch commercial of decades past: "Timex: It takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin.'" That poor woman is going to end up with a fractured tongue. * * * Thanks for stopping by. Words from you always elicit my gratitude.

Thanks, Kim, for you kind, always-thoughtful words. Now if I could just be the poet you are. How does that Perry Como song go? (showing my age): "It's impossible, just impossible . . . ."

Jan, "good luck" wishes from you are not to be taken lightly, as is now obvious. Thank you! You're wonderful (please forgive me for making the error of damning with faint praise, for which I deserve at least 40 lashes).
