Notes About The Poem
Tania Kitchin's Humorous or Bawdy Limerick Contest...9 Sept 26

Who's Snoring?

l once had a friend named Mildred 
Who wiggled a lot in my bed, 

She'd snore with delight
Her growl was a fright; 

I rang the alarm loud... instead!

I don't think you have 'bawdy' in you, Nette, so I knew this would be humorous... In fact, I wasn't sure you, a poetess of such delicacy and talent, even had a limerick in you. lol. (A young lady I know named Nette // once had an unusual pet // She told it to please Sit! // It promptly made a sh_t // Nette turned as red as one can get... Now there's humor and bawd rolled into one.) LOL, again. Wishing you peace and serenity, Gershon

Dear Nette, how cute and funny. My wife has always been the snorer, and I have to keep nudging her to turn onto her side. Maybe I should take your advice and pull the alarm. Blessings, Daniel
