Ten Foot Yellow Train

Julia Roberts - The Run Away Bride
Had a dog  Fido - loved water slides 
He lifted his leg
Yellow train - an egg
The bride disappeared hurt in her pride...

Fido's bright smile showed whites of Colgate
When Lady appeared sealing his Fate
Human wedding planned
On a doggies' land
Long Live bride's old Pop and his charge plate!

Inspired by Carolyn Devonshire's limerick "Runaway Train"
An outdoor wedding, no sign of rain
The bride’s gown had a 10-foot train
     Crossing the lawn to her bequeathed
     Fido snatched the train in his teeth
And Pop watched eight grand go down the drain

A special thanks to you Iolanda, for the extra effort, you went through to find a poem and get permission from it owner. Your double limerick was a special poem in it's own right, and deserves all honors. Congratulations on your place. Agape, Moses
