Limer Ricos

Rico writes about the truth He is a limerick sleuth He is no dummy Wise and extremely funny Cos he is long in the tooth. Ricardo known as Rico, His limericks are so slick He scribes away Writing limericks every day He's sharp and oh so quicko. I think Rico is an old man Happiness is his life plan Every day on poetry soup He writes another scoop Without ever getting a ban. Rico the admired When he gets aspired He makes a dash For his pen, in a flash His mind and pen required.

Quite long in the tooth, but forsooth, I outlived most of my critics, so I get the last laugh! I hope to keep you laughing! Mahalo nui loa! Aloha!

I don't know how you write many Limericks on many subjects. ( you must be an older man to have gained so much knowledge ) I have learned a lot from people like yourself on PS, and I thank you. Take care, Rico, Shirley ( The old duck )

Shirley, a fine tribute to a poet we all enjoy here on the Soup. I hope he reads it. I enjoyed it so much.

Thank you, Milt; I am so glad you enjoyed it. Rico deserved the praise, in my opinion, as do many others on the soup. I think it is good therapy for us all; however, we try to express ourselves, a bonus all around. I'd like to thank you too Milt, for the encouragement you have given me.
