Limerick: Once a Measly Miser In Mumbai

Limerick: Once a measly Miser in Mumbai

Once a measly Miser in Mumbai
Liked watching dancing girls on the sly
He went to Bolly-Wood
Though he felt jolly good
His loot sucked by Bombay Ducks well nigh.

Login to Reply T Wignesan Date: 2/13/2013 10:42:00 PM So are you, if you don't mind my saying so, Donna, but you're quite right about getting your tongue twisted. It was meant to... Kidding aside, thanks a lot for visiting. As I must say to all well-wishers: Too much to do at my age. EXIT Door in sight! Already got a toe in the door! So, sorry if I can't return the compliment by turning your pages. Every good wish. Wignesan

Andrea Dietrich Date: 2/12/2013 11:30:00 PM I don't know of bombay ducks, but this seemed pretty witty!!! Login to Reply T Wignesan Date: 2/13/2013 7:55:00 AM Hi Andrea ! Glad you sensed the witticism, but you may only do this to its fullest extent if you knew what Bombay Ducks mean. They are "lizard-like fish", common enough in the Arabian Sea, but banned from the Euro-Union on account of poor packaging. Hey, I clicked on your pic and saw some good pieces by you: limericks (one excellent) and "rondeau" (?) You mean: rondelet? Don't have much time to visit like you guys. Guzzi is pretty fluent also. Maybe I will when able. I don't however much like the "musical chairs" comments though. EGW -thanks. Wignesan
