There Once Was A

There once was a pretty barmaid quite gay, she would loudly greet all and friendly say; "come have a St. Patty beer," soon, they would all yell a cheer; singing songs and dancing the night away ! ___________________________ February 21, 2021 Poetry/Limerick/There Once Was A Copyright Protected, ID 02-1331-260-21 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, In Honor of St. Patrick's Day sponsor, L MILTON HANKINS, Judged 03/12/2021 Third Place

Jan, thanks for the congrats, like you say that I inspire you to write out of your comfort zone (which by the way you do beautifully) writing funny is out of my comfort zone but deep down inside me there must be a funny bone _Constance
