Your words of marriage are engaging Barry but your proposal has gone for naught For I'm Mary Mary quite contrary as a child you must have been taught. Liked the word play!

This is a crazy limerick of verbal gymnastics. I have to speak it slowly. I recommend it for TV anchors who need to learn how to speed information into their 40 second slots. Very good.

Great idea, Hilda. I also recommend it as the opening 'test' for Joe Biden and Donald Trump if they ever debate this Fall. Wouldn't that be a kick to see them struggle? Maybe they'd both keel over and die, so that our beleaguered Republic can breathe again...
