Will You Marry Me

. i wuz the happiest man i could feel mine blush all over when she said "i do" i asked her to say it again just to be certain mine ears deceived me not she giggled like the beauty queen as she excitedly repeated "i do" the cooking "i do" the dishes laundry "i do" the dusting and "i do" our bed"... ...instantly i asked her to marry me *i know, it's not the correct structure uv "Limerick"....t'wuz the humor i wanted to share

Very witty James , but why not re classify it as free verse though (so as not to confuse people who read it and are not familiar with the proper limerick form. hugs jan xx
