Poor Jim

Jim went out looking for his fat wife.
Driving around he got into strife.
Finally poor Jim, he found her.
Not enough gas to go round her.
Jim ran over the love of his life.

Thanks Andria. I am glad you liked it. Secret; it comes from an old joke, stand up comedians told -long before your time. I just made it into a limerick. like this old joke. " My wife went to the West Indies" '' Oh Jamaica?" 'No she wanted to go" Corny but funny if you make it a limerick. I can remember jokes from 50 years ago, but cant remember where I live half the time. Cheers dear, Thanks for listening to an old bloke.

Thank you Tania, glad you enjoyed it. I have a real beaut if you place another limerick contest! Even my wife laughed and she is a bit straight laced.
