One Glance At Thee

. Yes in the cask I did hide In Latin one soul would say its interior was foetere yet I’ll just say it was putrid Oh yes the barrel was fusty although one glance at thee from wherever

"Isn't it romantic." That's a song I remember which fits this musty, aromatic piece. I get drunk just thinking about the situation. Magnificent idea, Sir James. Love, Dave

So what does "foetere" mean, James. gosh, you need to footnote words like that, haha (for lazies like me who don't want to try to look it up). OH, and the other word I did not know was "fusty" YOu have quite a vocabulary, sir!

So you wanted one glance at her from inside the barrel...She must be very special...Thanks for stopping by my Limerick..I am glad that you saw the humor...You would be surprised at what gets thrown into the dumpsters after Christmas..Sara

Your poem is so filled with longing, James. A beautiful write, but I do hope you find your way out of the barrel and express your passion to her! Thanks for always reminding us that there are still romantic men out there, my friend. We ladies need to know this! Love and blessings for the holidays, Carolyn
