Limerick In Paradise

If I were a fly on their wall. 
And heard about Adam’s big fall.
I’d say “God please try me.
I’ll do better than he
If I weren’t so unfairly small”.




For Michael's Fly on the Wall limerick contest  won # 4

Such a cute take on the contest, Joyce. Who knows why Adam was the chosen one. It could have been any of God's creatures, even a fly. Still laughing at this one! You'll do great in Michael's contest with this entry and I noticed your contest is filling up quite fast. Way to go, girlfriend. Love, Carolyn
