Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

I'm  posting  Becca's picture with her permission:-)

 

 

 

Please Don'T Say Bye Bye Becca

Becca Teagan I’ve heard that you’re leaving
My stomach is now churning and heaving
Salty tears start to flow
I don’t want you to go
You are loved here and now I am grieving

Dear Becca you are part of this group
Just take a break from poetry soup
So please take a rest
Then come back refreshed
And the souper’s will be cock a hoop!
