Nor I, Caren. Truthfully, I couldn't find a rhyme, and the rest of the limerick was too good to discard!

The oldie from Moffett who sold her wares, Just uses one room in her house downstairs. One chair and a bed, But don't be misled, With soffit full of profit she’s no cares... Belle

I love how this makes something innocous sound scandalous! Also just learned a neat piece of trivia - 'stash' is thought to be a combination of 'stow' and 'cache' - funny where words come from :)

I didn't know that, Michelle. Yep, you learn something everyday. Thanks so much for reading, making a comment, and sharing.
