Waste Not, Want Not

Good times may not last.
Share thy wealth with tomorrow.
Youth provides for age.

Joyce, I sincerely wish youth would "provide for age." This is a terrific senryu and I hope young people will read it and realize they owe the older generations a great deal for their support and education. Best wishes in John's contest! Love, Carolyn (Your limerick is hysterically funny!)
