The Value of Work Nursery Rhyme

Young Lenny at school would dream through each day, He never read books, he just liked to play, So it wasn't a quirk That he didn't learn work: All play was leading his future astray. Grown Lenny farewelled his sweet mom and dad, He packed up and left the one home he had. But it wasn't a quirk That he couldn't find work: All play had left Lenny skill-less and sad.

Ho!! Ho!! Ho!! I know the perfect place for Lenny to get a job and the position. He would do really well working for Santa as a toy tester. Way to go with this winner. Congratulations. Sara

Thanks, Sara. Maybe giving Lenny a toy-tester job will be inspiration for another limerick ... thanks, Dave

Thank you. Don't we all need some balance? Maybe it's autobiographical ...
