No. How long is a Chinaman.

To be more precise, How Long is a Chinaman.

Sounds to me like a Chinese porn star.

Whew hi guys got sideswiped this week by heat plus visit from an old friend whom I hadn't seen in 15 yrs now madly trying to catch up packing for vacation (leaving tomorrow). Sorry taking so long byt had a not been delayed could not have rece'd 2! submittals by our newbie! Welcome & thanks sattva!

Back into sauna-weather to continue loading minivan. Will post poll if I can 2nite but may have to keep you waiting til I get to Cape. Sorry... desultory & then some!

A visit with a friend and vacation sounds like fun ways to be busy .

After some of the examples given in this thread, I realize that I need to understand more about how to write these. Any advice will be gratefully accepted.

Hi B35,

That's great to hear, some of us were beginning to worry that you'd disappeared off the face of the earth.

hat's great to hear,

No, it's not. Obviously Bethree has learned the secret to converting raw limericks int valuable bitcoins and is headed to the Cape where she will transit to -- inevitable -- the island of NANTUCKET!

There she wll bury our precious limericks as a hedge against inflation, or a Trump presidency, or both. In years to come lims will begin

There's a treasure trove stashed on Nantucket
Which we know because Bethree has tuck it.

But the good news is, thanks to the limericks we've all placed in the Wordcraft bank we are all billionaires and eligible to run for office.

I've run for a bus and I've run for a train and I've even run for a toilet but I've never run for office.

Actually I don't think I am eligible. I lack one of the necessary attributes.

heh, heh, Bob, good article.

Thanks for all the funny comebacks folks. Raising the lims up the pole, er, poll, as we speak.
