Maureen the poet of fame
Said she liked my footle the same
She felt love intense, 
For “The Little Prince”, 
Hope she comes back again and again.

Poet's notes:

Pronounce “again” with the poetic long “a” so it rhymes with "same."  Just like the high society folk do :)

I wrote this limerick for our international poet friend, Maureen McGreavy.  When commenting on one of my footle poems, "Planet Baobab," she referred to her love for The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.  I've never read it, but will now because of her recommendation.

Thanks again, Maureen, for all the encouragement you freely give.  Cheers!
