Mrs. Twist offered cake with a cherry
Attempting to keep the tone merry
Will you stop playing with that radio of yours, I'm trying to get to sleep!

Del Mar, in his youth, had missed
The opportunity to sin or be kissed
Til, neglecting his sheep,
He got pissed before sleep
Then awoke with his tail in a Twist.

Howzat?

Hey Lachlan, we're building these line-by-line.  I like your limerick though!  Post it here: http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,5944.0.html

He so missed Jack's love — sweet like toffee.

It was Jack, not their love, he had come to bury.  :'(

Sorry, I learned how to write poetry but not how to use a computer. I don't even have one;  I'm in a noisy internet cafe and can only write within a brief time allocation.  So all I can do is push "reply" and write.  Today I must pick up some kale from the Farmers' Market,  caulk a boat and lay down mulch,  so "posting" is beyond me.

Lachlan, although not to protocol......that was a great limerick
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

I'll second that.  Well done, Lachlan.
