Ticked Off

Thank you, Andrea. I appreciate your sweet generosity and thoughtfulness.

SKAT A, you're right; I shouldn't be writing about bombers of any kind. Apologies to anyone who took offense. As for the limerick itself, I think it's marginal at best. The last line exhibits forced rhyming. I must have been drinking too much Dr. Pepper.

Lindsay, I dare say you are correct. Thank you for responding. * * * Apologies to you and Lyric Man for misplacing my responses. Blame it on the wages of age.

I knew I should have taken that Chinese philosophy course. No matter; your analysis makes perfect sense to me. Thank you.

Yes, and it was a one-time lesson. Thanks for commenting, Tim (still chuckling about "Onion Breath").

Paul some poems I can rattle off very quickly especially humourous ones, but some especially contest can take me about several days especially if i am not au fait with the form especially where special meter is required which i struggle with - I like to stop and start again when the inspiration hits - this one I wrote over a bout 3 days - but I was so pleased with the way it turned out.

Thanks, Jan. I tried to make the justice poetic, but--truth to tell--it turned out to be a mediocre effort. I should have given it an overnight rest, then trashed it. Sometimes we try to wish our writing into being acceptable, as if by sheer force of will we can fix it. I can't imagine, though, that happening to you.
