The Battle

What a crazy thing, the old woman said.
Her laugh was enormous her face was red.
upside down in a tree
alligator grins at she
a giant jump; laughing woman is dead

Glad it was her said black bear in tutu
sitting in place where magic mushrooms grew
that is not nice
alligator jumped twice
bloody battle began between the two

the bear will win said a toad by the tree
I doubt it bet a fuzzy bumblebee
bear gave a sigh
gator gave them the eye
they both ran away from murderous spree

These limericks have C.K. fairy dust liberally sprinkled all over them, and a bit of Trixie-dust to boot. Thanks for the ringside seat, Caren! Smiles, Gershon

Yes for sure! And these other animals know when to run, so they will not take a tumble.
