Seasick

A young man shipped out on the sea; No care if ‘twas windward or lee. But storms came along, His stomach not strong, Now sees ships only on TV! Date: 7/15/18

You'd be surprised how many would-be sailors end up getting seasick, Bartholomew. I could relate to this because I took so many people out fishing when I had my boat. A gunny limerick! Congratulations on your win. Hugs, Carolyn

Bartholomew Williams

Thank you very much, Carolyn, for sponsoring this truly fun contest, your kind words, and for ranking my limerick so high!! I sincerely appreciate all of that. I've also boated with family and friends, and let's just say that not everyone ended up enjoying the ride as much as I did (kind of like your experience)! Hugs right back to you, and all my very best to you and yours! :) Bartholomew
