Wendy Watson Poet Limerick

The Long and the Short of It

Ted Smith was a very tall guy
His girlfriend, a mere four feet high.
But love went astray,
Ted called it a day;
They just couldn't see eye to eye!

Congrats, Wendy! :) gw Wendy Watson July 16, 2019 at 5:15 AM How kind of you, Gershon. I often use idioms/play on words in limericks but they run the risk of not being appreciated. Crude isn't in my nature so I aim for witty!

Jan Allison July 2, 2019 at 5:11 PM VERY witty Wendy!:-) hugs Jan xx Wendy Watson July 16, 2019 at 5:12 AM That's quite a compliment coming from YOU,Jan. Thank you. I hope the idiom works from an American point of view,too!!
