Wendy Weather

Wendy Horder's life took a blight
As sometime God does not get it right
At least Down Under
With awesome thunder*
God soothes their soul with Vegemite 

*( At least I thought it was thunder, but it
may have been Wendy's old toaster?)

I always deemed it an honor to be the subject of your last limerick Rico. All these years later and I still miss you my friend. Thank you for all your humour to brighten our days. With happy memories .... Wendy :)

I think I can't recall if I ever returned to pay you my final respects when I learned of your death, but here I am at your last post to say how sorry I am that you are no longer with us, and I'd love to see your face as I am not sure if you believed in heaven, but I am pretty sure you are there!!

How saddening to learn of your passing this morning. Every time I read a poem of yours, I laugh. Too bad I never got to know you well. RIP, Rico.

Dear Rico, We are deeply saddened to hear of your recent passing. I hope that you are now resting in peace in the arms of your savior and reunited at last with your dearly beloved wife. Your wit and wonderful encouragement will always be your legacy. Thanks so much for your kind words. Rest in peace, Nancy

There's that Vegemite again. Do you drink it, Rico? Actually, it sounds pretty good. Hey~stay away from volcano fires (they are beautiful, though.) Do you think people will finally realize Mother Earth is pissed off?

Did you have to leave because of the vog from the big volcano there? Every one is quite concerned. Hope you are safe and well. Nancy

Now I know, you have been on a long tour, from which there is no return. Hope you have reached your safe destination. Now relax dear Rico. I wonder if you will write limericks there too. Will God censor your bawdy limericks or will He take them in sportive spirit !! However we will miss you so much.......

I hope you are okay also. It's odd not to see your limericks? Were you impacted by the volcano in Hawaii?

Marmite, not Merimite as I Am Anaya put (see below). It is delicious.

I'll answer instead of Rico, Tom.. I would rather spread axle grease on my toast than eat that vulgar black yeast extract !!
