What’s There to Like?

January 12, 2021 ~ G. Paul Randall

I'd rather see a smile than a frown
And I'd rather be a naught than renown 
I like my yolks runny
And I like my jokes funny
And I like insurrections put down

  Thanks, I think of limericks as being more engineered than written. It’s a fun constraint to play with and you can goof around and make jokes or be serious, either way.

  Thanks V.J. – those of us with functioning brains can easily come together on this point.
