Sandy Saves Dandy Randy

There was an old codger named Randy
Who rolled on the beach and got sandy.
T'was there he did sleep,
And ne'er did he weep,
So sure that his life was just dandy.

Along came a lady named Sandy
Who wanted so much to help Randy
To soften his heart,
She played a big part,
And stopped him from drinking his brandy.

Then Randy got quickly awake,
So stunned when he saw his mistake.
He thought no one cared
Because no one dared
To love him for his own name's sake.

He quickly got up from his stupor
And started to be a good trooper.
He went to help others
Who didn’t have mothers,
and now his life's work is just super.

Susan, if we ever have a contest for "The Limerick Queen of the Soup" you will definitely get my vote. This is great stuff and I loved every line of it. While I have always been a big fan of limericks, most of those I remember from my youth I wouldn't dare use in mixed company back then. Guess it wouldn't mean much these days, though.
