Spurned

There was a courtly gent name Hearn. Who was fastidious from stem to stern. He showered morning and night. Kept his teeth pearly white. But couldn't find a wife worth a durn.

I'm gratified to be able to give you a smile at this difficult time. My thoughts and the thoughts of hundreds of others are with you as you grieve for the loss of your Father.

G'day Paul... Now Hearn might not see this as funny - but he might have found a cute honey - if he'd showered or not - and he showed her he's got - a large wad of substantial money. Regards - Lindsay

Lindsay, What a great sequel you have penned to my limerick (actually, it outshines my original). Thank you!
