Ufo

Billie Boy was a lad from Down Under
Who with explosives rarely did blunder.
But he became diverted
By a blonde short-skirted.
Blam! Off to Wagga Wagga asunder.

I see that I already commented on this one. I wonder how many others of yours I have seen. Hope you will keep visiting me. If I see someone comment to me, I always visit them back.Otherwise, I forget who I have met here. One day I hope to have read all your limericks. I love writing that short form myself. Now I will track down this one I see you telling people is your favorite, Sausaged.

Another good limerick, though I can't relate to Wagga Wagga. Must be a place or town in Australia. / M

You're right, Maurice. Wagga Wagga is a city in New South Wales, Australia. Thank you for your kindness in commenting.

I tried to leave a comment on your blog page about your short story several times but it wouldn't take it, so I am leaving it here....Congratulations on your book of short stories Paul! Your wisdom shines in words you have posted in this blog. Stories to be shared with young minds such as my three year old granddaughter I am helping to raise. These values need to be instilled in youth to end hurtful words and bullying that we live with every day. I thank you for sharing your wisdom. Blessings, Connie

To say I value and appreciate your comment is to make a blatant understatement. Your values do, indeed, reflect my own (I deem that an honor). Years hence, historians will ask, "At what point did America lose her way?" I think an honest answer must be, "When she set aside her foundational values." Thank you, Connie. hugs

I've been hoping for the same thing, Jan. Knowing Lindsay, she'll respond with some supremely clever comment. In any event, I'm delighted the limerick gave you a laugh. Have a blessed day.
