Slick Limerick

Andrea lives in a city
In which every season is pretty!
But on a bad snow day,
She drives on the freeway
And curses because it’s so %#itty. (small edit for the kiddies)

**on our Utah license plates it says 
"The Greatest Snow on Earth" (yeah, right)

For PD's Contest
(After I posted this, I realized, gosh, the title
really does work because few things are as 
slick as a Utah road in winter.)

Lindsay Laurie Date: 5/18/2015 7:22:00 PM G'day Andrea... loved this topical limerick. Here's a few topics. Not sure if they suit you. 1)The average American in their lifetime spends six months waiting at red lights. I’m certain you could do something with this statistic. 2)Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator. Could be something to do with fast food addiction. 3)If I ever have twins, I'll use one for parts. 4)Housework - When is the good fairy getting here? Here has many rhyming words.

Phyllis Babcock Date: 2/21/2012 8:03:00 AM This reminded me of my blog and made me smile. I must admit to be fast driver but I also am careful. I hate it when folks do not drive the speed limit on good roads. Thanks for reading my blog. I have not posted lately but hope to do some poems soon. love phyl Login to Reply
