No Pain, No Gain

I once knew a poet named Dick
Too sensitive to take the stick
So hurt was his pride
He cried and he cried
Till he grew a skin ever so thick

Hola Richard, I can't believe I'm so late reading every entry on the GLASS COMMUNITY contest list. That's very lame of me, :) I was the one who initiated this contest. But, with the moving and all, I asked my sis to close it for me. I like your placement in this contest. :) Congratulations on your awesome Sensitive community Limerick win. --Love Linda--

I feel a little guilty with my reply now lol, but as this is for PDs sensitivity contest it is apt. Some here are very sensitive about everything so being discreet is the way to go

Funny, Richard! I'm really liking these zany "sensitive limericks". I hope your skin is thick enough, because I'm about to go Grammar Nazi on you ... The "too" before "sensitive" should have a double-o. Lol. Good luck on the contest.

Hi Tim, no worries my skin is plenty thick enough, let's see how thick your layers are, because I'm about to go Gestapo etiquette ( a code of behavior that delineates expectations for social behavior according to contemporary conventional norms within a society, social class, or group) on you ... It's customary to notify people of mistakes through soupmail, instead of making them look prize tits in public lol. but thank you anyway
