Too Much Is Enough Poetry Contest - Sponsored by: Margarita Lillico

Too much is enough when one is full up Had plenty to eat and plenty to sup When feeling bloated Tummy’s explosive Cough loud and say sorry for the hiccup. If by chance you should have become legless Aim for the best, to not feeling reckless It's not ladylike A sure fated vice You may find that you have become feckless.

Always loved a good Limerick, Beryl… and here we have two for the price of one. But I must say this… as a lady, be thankful it was only a hiccup you apologised for. Best of luck in the contest. Terry

Oh Terry you make me laugh, it could have been worse I suppose, but from the soup I may have been thrown. Thank you Beryl
