Jack Ellison Poet Limerick

No More Cartwheeling

When I woke up this morning, I had a good feeling
For fear of broken bones I refrained from cartwheeling
Instead I uttered a tiny "yee haw"
And a very tiny happy "guffaw"
At eighty years old, it takes longer, the healing

Carol Eastman October 24, 2015 at 12:04 PM That last craper went astray... Imagine the healing took all day... I hear it got to orbit then landed in the bay... But which one I cannot say... And I'd be a smiling too after I got that one out of the way!... Ahhh... The lure of potty humor... Remember you started it... LOL...
