Let's have an easy one this time.

Ukraine

Sounds like a plan! I am on it.

This one is easy.
Why do I only have one reply?

I am sorry. Will get one to you this weekend.

Still just one.

If I have no more by Friday I'll declare the one entry the winner.

Good grief - where is everyone? Proof, please send one in! Geoff? Arnie? Hab? Greg? Tom? Bethree? Who else?

Well, three now. I have yours and one other.

Doldrums. Just as I said. Doldrums.

I've been busy with my latest catastrophy. I'll try to think of one.

Beautiful, Hab and Geoff.

As we wait, here is one that Shu says has been around for awhile:

A woman who came from Ukraine
Said goodbye to her beau in the rain.
She said with a sigh,
"I wonder when I
Will see such a rain-beau again."

Dear oh dear.
A total of three limericks from two players with the easiest word we've had in months.

Where is everyone?

I proposed as a place name "Ukraine"
I was thinking "It's hardly a strain.
Such a straightforward rhyme,
Should be dozens this time."
But it seems I was wrong once again.

Yes, I agree. Where the heck is everyone? This place is definitely dead these days. I am hoping they'll be back soon.

I am disappointed that the entries were posted before I got mine in. As I said above, I WAS intent on entering.

At any rate, if you count my late one, you had three participants - or is that particitousers where you come from?

Sorry Geoff. Had I realised you were busy composing one, I would have held off for another day.

It's the story of my life, Bob! A day late and a dollar short. The "dollar short"is why I'm back in Oregon instead of at home.

Whatever comes next, I'll try to be more prompt.
