Hello Paul, 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--

Now I'm curious what kind of accent you have. Lol. A good flow to this limerick ... I see you as a person who is confident, but not egotistic. One who writes with an air of simplicity, while something often lies hidden beneath.

Paul Callus
Date: 3/1/2016 4:23:00 PM

In reality there's no drawl, my friend; rhyming needs took me there, though I could have had it in the negative. I dig your comments:) Come to think about it...I'm not that bad after all...! ~ paul
