as she ranted and cursed
That silly scent Willy sent Millicent

Food

Who found a rather large mouse in his stew
Cried the Waiter “Don’t shout!

Or the rest will be wanting one too!”
A variation on a limerick that’s already on the blog.

This Limerick Called Life
March 19th, 2010I know this may sound absurd
But I have this obsession with words.
I’ve taken up blogging;
It’s more fun than jogging.
So through limericks I like to be heard.
In a small Pennsylvania town,
I grew up just hangin’ around.
After high school graduation,
The world was my fascination.
Amman, Jordan is now where I’m found.
My interests are my kids and cooking
Along with reading and lots of facebooking
I hope that my themes
will reign supreme
and keep you coming back and looking.

Kids Are Masters Of Fun

We can pause for a fond reflection,
Shaking sodas in cans,
Speaking robot through fans,
When we were kids, we were masters of fun.

That inspire disgust and our rants,

With their half covered moon,
Skid marks do not lead to romance.
