Thread Name: Janie's broken leg needs music & laughs
Subject: RE: Janie's broken leg needs music & laughs
A little Friday morning nonsense...W.S. Gilbert of Gilbert & Sullivan fame, so the story goes, hated the Limerick verse form & wrote the following in protest:
"There was a young man from St. Bees
Who was stung on the arm by a wasp.
When asked: "Does it hurt?"
He replied: "No it doesn't'
I'm so glad that it wasn't a hornet".
Love & Laughter, Janie. Wishing you a safe return home,
Yours Most Affectionately,
Nigel & Ann xxxxx
