Writing a Limerick

 

I must be mad

Perhaps just a tad

To impose so much strain

On my fuzzy brain

I give up, too bad!

  4. Tag with MP2012
  5. Publish to Mindful Poetry (and other groups as you wish)

You did good Irina. I loved the limerick. The limerick is one I "get" but I just ran out of time. Lately, I don't control it it controls me.
Irina Dimitric Apr 21, 2012, 7:53am UTC
Thanks, Alice. Hope you soon return to be in control of time.
