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

Hmm.
In the interests of keeping with the KISS principle, I suggest we just follow the road and see where it takes us...This message has been edited. Last edited by: haberdasher,
