My stunning poem should be REQUIRED READING for all Fifth Graders in U.S. schools! ! ! There IS a warning it it. There are SEVERAL warnings! ! ! : )) bri
WOW! ! Before, above, the limericks I said to read in order, with # 5 being last. NOW I'VE NOTICED THAT I SHOULD HAVE SAID 1- 6, WITH 6 BEING LAST. cont.
Brilliant, Bri! I think the fourth serves up particular genius. I, too, reluctant, must therefore serve up that coveted 5-star review....
Mj, Thank YOU. I completely concur with your stunning ability to enjoy such a serious study in infidelity, the results of such, and the need to have one's own lawyer. Do you have a poem you'd dare ME to critique? bri ;)
I hope your wife is not reading all these else YOU will start wring SERIOUS STUFFS. Ha ha...Enjoyed all of them.5 ICE CREAMS
THANKS, MY FRIEND (one of the few I have......well, ANYWHERE! ! !) I suspect that when you typed 'wring', not 'writing', you may have been thinking that my wife would 'wring' my neck. No fears required; she doesn't read my 'stuff' [[ NOT 'stuffs' ]]. YUM! GIVE ME ALL ICE CREAMS! ! ! ;) BRI
