Cara’s on the pull with her mate And hoping to land a hot date She spies a fit guy Who gives her the eye What happened next made her irate. His work tag reveals his name’s Jim She flutters her lashes at him He says’ move over pet Canney see TV set’ Her chance of romance sure was grim Inspired by a true story from a sweet friend, 02/07/22

Hi Jan, It is strange how life experiences and sayings and jokes heard can trigger off the idea for a poem. I love this one Jan, and see this one was inspired by such. hope you are keeping well, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Hi, Jan, sorry I have been too busy lately to see your work. I was so surprised that one of the funny limericks in my contest did not belong to you. Sure hope you are ok. I was really thinking one of those limericks belonged to you!!

How insulting! I had to laugh though, because some men are really into sports. I am very lucky my husband wasn’t. He would watch the Super Bowl. A great Limerick. Blessings xxoo

Hello Jan - What can be said for this is everything. What a red flag and looser. Beware... Always are your limericks humorous and light to bring a smile and chuckle. May this day find you well. Blessings always.

Hmmm...maybe she should take up football, the NFL! He's hardly worth the effort, if you ask me.
