Jane was the fastest girl in her small town By age sixteen she'd been passed all around Jane went dancing one night Drank way too much, got tight Woke up next morn ~ a woman of renown

Sadly many Janes out there who someday realize and regret their behavior. Life is a learning experience. Missed your Poetry my friend...

Great Limerick poetry, Gershon. Now that's what limericks are supposed to read like. Nice twist at the end, my friend. A FAV for my list! Bill

clever and witty Limerick, Gershon. I guess we all have done things that could've made us renown. I shudder when I think...
