Superficial Love

She pooh-poohed his smallish gift.
He looked glum and she looked miffed.
	No diamond in sight,
	She did not delight.
Her love for him was set adrift.

Go big or go home alone! Nice limerick, Linda. Write On! Bill p.s. I told Sara about the problem you're having posting your comments on her poems.

Thanks Bill. Yes, I read so many of Sara's poems, it is sad that I cannot comment, and ludicrous to use email for such. I will keep trying however, just as I do with Anaya. Every once in a while, one will slip through whatever barrier there is. :))
