Hello Regina ... certainly opposite contrasts in your limerick, and there's one mighty hint - thanks Regina - Lindsay

Something pretty and pretty ugly. For Bob to get such a reputation their must be mostly bad in him or he’d be thought more curmudgeon or gruff. Funny!

Poor Uncle Bob! He needed candy too; great end rhymes though.

A really fun limerick, Gina. Thanks for writing this, and best of luck in Andrea's contest. I'll have to give it a try!
