Comment from A. Willow Bends
Pretty catchy! Poor guy! I love this and especially with the photo choice! Great choice. I love limericks. I just am not very good at writing them. YOU however did a super job with this one! (My husband often offers up some ideas, NONE of which I can use! :) Great job!
I am trying to play catch up for the next few days, so you possibly will hear from me as I see you've been writing!

Aw, it is so good to see you, dear Wendy! I?m so glad you enjoyed my first attempt at a limerick. I had fun with this one. Thank you for the excellent review and kind compliments. :+) You should try one on of these, you?d be great!
Sending you my best today as always, Sally xo

Perfect limerick! Lol! Love the humor in this one Sally! And boy, it'd be neat to see Ireland. I guess I'll have to do with the hills in Ky. SO pretty, but some really nasty people too. VERY nice work here tho. :)

This poem was just me at my silly best. I?m so glad you enjoyed it my Kentucky friend. It is such an honor and the six stars blessed me real good! Thank you, again.

Comment from Loren .
Sigh, we men can be so incredibly dumb at times. After the second wife you'd think the penny would have dropped. And when the dentist suggested that gold tooth!? Someone should have reminded him you can't take it with you.

Women can be dumb, too. It?s not assigned to gender per say. This was fashioned after someone I know who was ruined after five marriages and alimony up the wazoo. Poor guy, he just didn?t get it.
Thank you so much for the superb rating and six stars. I am so appreciative. Sending you my best today as always,
Sally :+)
Comment from JudyE
I think he is supposed to have seven wives - but what's one or two between friends? I love limericks and yours has the rhythm and rhyme that I need to find if I'm to like a limerick. Thanks for the smile.

I?m hopeful for you to catch this rhythmic beat of the Limerick. It?s not hard. I will be first in line to review yours and cheer you on. I?m glad you enjoyed my silly poem.

Comment from poetwatch
Good one Sally. I don't know where in the office you told these one, but I bet you had some laughs, :) This guy how did he do it? I mean I can barely handle one. Yet, I can see him grinning (minus the tooth) all the way to the cemetery. :) Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Carla Trinklein
Five wives! That would do it. Our Pastor remarked once that he didn't know how the men in Bible times did it with several wives, he couldn't keep up with one! Funny little limerick with clever rhymes. Well done!

Comment from Ms. Snyder
Oh! Sally,
Limericks seemly easy, but are so difficult! I remember for St. Patricks Day I was trying to write one. And as much as I tried - I couldn't pull it together.
Yours is funny, sad, and comprehensive in such a short package and I am in awe. I am so grateful to know you and to be able to read wonderful difficult poetry form from you. I learn from you and I also love the fact that you have such a variety of things that you write about. You always keep me interested.
Also as a side FYI, I am slowly coming back online and will try to get my Nonnet for next month submitted. I just didn't have the funds to do so this time around. Cheers, Fonda

Oh Fonda, I am tickled pink if I made you smile or laugh. This is my first attempt at a Limerick. It has such a fun beat to it and made me laugh all along the way. So glad you enjoyed it. I am always watching for your posts!

Comment from Ben Colder
I have often thought of this saying as well as Solomon who had 1000. Now those guys were some lovers to take care of that many. Wow. Thanks for sharing about ST. Ives. I never knew where it was.

Thank you been for the excellent review and insightful comments. King Solomon was a busy man, yet wealthy. At least he could support them all, unlike the poor man from St. Ives. I?m glad you enjoyed my first Limerick.
