Second Thoughts

A foolish, young man from Duluth
Spent all of his money on Ruth.
She's grateful of course.
He's filled with remorse,
And now must face up to the truth.

January bills are now due.
Year's taxes are coming up too,
Taxes and charged bills,
Most he head for hills?
Bills don't pay themselves it is true.

Hi Ruth, I enjoyed your limerick. When he saw Ruth he should have ran for the hills. Congratulations on a well deserved win. Happy New Year's to you and your loved ones:-)Alexis

He better head for the hills if Ruth won't help him pay his bills, Joyce. Great limerick, dear. (I'm still working on the delicious fudge.) Congratulations on your win in my contest. Have a wonderful New Year! Best wishes, Carolyn
