A Limerick- On Limerick Poem by Valsa George

A Limerick- On Limerick

Writers wish to give some fun
All sense of grace is outrun
Some, no doubt, sound extremely smutty!

Hi Glen, I tried to post a reply to your message, but couldn't! I cannot post comments too.... some technical hassle...! I enjoyed your brother's limericks...! He is indeed gifted! Thank you for forwarding!
