The Limerick is a fav form that has stood the test of time. Yes, the 'figure' ... lol. BTW: 'Till ...' Regards, Suzette

The one l til exists as a short form of until. There's a bit of a debate around it and also whether it's 'til. However, it's a word I particularly like along with non without an e. I persist with them almost like a signature mistake :)

I know it as 'until' and 'till' ... But I suppose it is up to you... Have a nice day:)

Limericks don't come naturally to me, but thought I'd have a go. I love a one 'l' til. I should check it's proper usage I suppose :)
