Tribute to Rico Leffanta - Not for contest

I often feel that you are still here,
bringing laughter and so much cheer. 
Your Limericks like a news reel.
You are still here, I often feel.

A dose of fun every day.
Some had current affairs at play.
All had humor, many a pun.
Every day a dose of fun.

Rico so many miss your rhyme.
I was the subject of your last time
That's why I offer a tribute like this.
Your rhyme Rico, so many miss.

A highly intelligent gentleman, cheeky and funny and sometimes bordering on naughty with his limericks, and always entertaining. I believe that there are many still on soup that miss him. thanks for your comment Joanna. All his Limericks are still here on Soup.
