We need more votes!

BTW, I got a message from someone that she/he mistakenly voted for the wrong limerick. You can’t correct these without deleting all the votes. So - subtract a vote for number 10 and add a vote for number nine.

#9 is in the lead. Other votes?

I guess we only have 6 voting then.

The winner is: Hab! Congratulations! I loved his "tiller squeak," and of course his reference to the Nancy and Ernie Bushmiller.

Here are the others:

1. Shu
2. Bob
3. Bob
4. Sattva
5. Sattva
6. Bethree
7. Bethree
8. Sattva
9. Hab
10. Kalleh (I was positioned right to write this one. Wink)
11. Geoff

For such a hard word, these answers are pretty darned good! Thank you everyone!

You're up, Hab!

Hmm.

In the interests of keeping with the KISS principle, I suggest we just follow the road and see where it takes us...
