Ned's Spring

There once was a Scotsman called Ned,
Who spent all his time in his bed.
He broke yet another spring,
As he danced the Highland Fling.
‘They make beds so fragile,’ he said.

For Francine's Wow me in Five Lines.

Jack, the "Key West" fishing trip isn't until the end of May and I hurricane season does begin June 1. However, I think you were referring to the powerful storms that swept through the Southeast recently. Many lives were lost, but we just had some rain and wind, no tornadoes. Stay safe and sweet, dear friend. Love, Carolyn I'll email you a photo of Monday's catch of the day.
