Spring Forward 2

There once was a seed in the ground
Waiting for Spring to come around
Her patience gave way
Came up anyway
Now she is frozen to the ground

This is real cute and true too. The way our planet is warming, plants will start blooming earlier because the weather is warmer than normal for the time of year, and then a temperature drop freezes them overnight! A great Limerick Janet!

Oh yes you are getting it the rhythm is marvelous - now remember [especially for me it need not be a true rhyme] if you used CROWN you would not have to use ground twice! [Now she's frozen from tip to crown.] It took me years longer than you! You smarty pants! Light & Love

For a beginner in writing Limericks I must raise my hat to you (even if I don't have one!). Thus I give you a 7 rating. All the best, Janet. // paul

Janet. Would it be ok to just call me Ed? I used it for some kind of professional appearances. And it turns out I guess I ain't all that crazy about it after all lol. Thank you. P.S. I will answer to whatever you decide.
