Limerick Joke Iii

Toilet tissue is like the starship
Enterprise in that they both slip
Around Uranus
And zip up heinous
Klingons to ferry on a trip

It was inane. There are strange curiosities in the way we can use language. Laughing is a good thing, though!! Regards!

It's one of the most inane things I've written. It was a challenge to turn a joke into a limerick.

Linda. It's my pleasure. You have a very interesting perspective on life. That you can share it here means that you have a disposition for sharing. Again, best of good fortune for this year.

Hi Duke, I never come back in read replies to my comments. But, today I am glad I did. Thank you for leaving a wonderful message:):):) ... I DO apologize, in 2015, I treated everyone, with the same selfishness they've shown me through the years. I am not that way, but I decided to keep then give. It makes me sad, this site made me treat others the way I was treated for years. It hurt me to ignore the good souls I love such as You. That is why I apologize. Because, I ignored and chose to be like them. You will not understand Duke, why I chose to stay on my page. However, I am delighted to let you know, I will keep following and greeting everyone, I DON'T CARE AND PROMISE NOT TO TAKE IT PERSONAL IF they choose to keep making a mockery out of all those who sit on a top list. Better yet, I will not let it bother me if I give and don't get back... Love LINDA (a FAN)

My keyboard is too tiny. Believe me, I get it. You cannot give all the time. However, even if you feel you are not, your poetry says a lot and always is welcome. There are always conflicts, and what you write helps 's deal with mine and not feel alone.

I thought I had replied. You are a Christmas Angel. I have never been disappointed in yoghurts or lack thereof. We all do what we can and we know life intrudes. So be well and we'll hope for pleasant and fun times.

Linda, you have nothing to apologize for. We get to these things when we can. May you have a wonderful year. Life can be complicated but I consider you a noble soul and always will.

Merry Christmas to you as well. Just late, but not too late for a happy New year's wish. You are wise. You are also very very clever as I have often said. I consider myself lucky and fortunate to be able to read your work.

Jan, hugs to you too. This joke was one I heard today, and so I told the teller I would try to make a limerick out of it. Language is too funny. You are a real sweetheart!!!
