The Crow Is a Chicken

As I walked thru glistening, deep snow A crow swooped and pecked a strike combo Upon my shocked and cold nose I returned snowballs well froze Downed crows sure can chicken dance in snow

Ha, that last line is so cute. That is what MAKES a limerick (a perfect last line)

Oh, Honey - that limerick was like an opponent in a boxing ring, we kept circling each other, it near invisible and me clueless for much longer than 15 rounds. No matter how hard I punched the LAST line would never go down, so I posted it with no idea of whether I cared any longer or not about victory. Well, look at those boxing metaphors! I believe I just had limerick therapy in this box. Hugs...CayCay
