She's Not Leaving On a Jet Plane

An overweight lady named Annie Has got an absurdly large fanny Since she boarded a plane That is destined for Spain She's wedged in the seat in Miami! Thanks to Andrea for helping me with the meter for this one Jan Allison 12th April 2016

I think I have have written only one limerick (being of the serious kind), but I really enjoy your bringing to the fore the laughter of life, Jan

oh man, I realized I had put a similar comment on someone's poem and needed to delete the second comment (can't believe I did not remember I saw his poem just the other day), so I went to do it and deleted the comment to YOU instead. I think I said YAYYYY, I really love this one. It's a fave, Jan. That part should not be deleted!!

LOL thanks for your help with the meter and flow - reducing the main lines from 10 to 9 syllables has made it perfect :-) You are so generous with your time and giving of your expertise and I can only thank you for helping make me the poet I am today:-) hugs Jan xx
