The Haunting of Emily Rose

For years she ironed and starched all his clothes  
she was haunted by demons like Emily Rose    
when put to the test  
who would have guest  
that guttural sound sent the waves to her toes.

Congratulations on your win, Vienna, this was such a fun limerick. I always admire anyone who can write one of these. I just can't get it right. I always get a kick out of reading them from those who can do them well. Hugs always ..... Mike.
