Limerick--By Arthur C. Ford, Sr.--United States

Limerick

A rich centenarian named Bee
Who lived extemporaneously,
Never gave thought
To what she sold or she bought,
Just remember that nothing was free.

Arthur C. Ford, Sr. is originally from New Orleans, LA., where he graduated from Southern University (S.U.N.O.). He studied Mathematics, Physics, Creative Writing (Poetry) and was a member of The Drama Society. He has traveled to 45 States, lived in Europe (Bruxelles, Belgium), and more recently spent 30 days doing missionary work and traveling throughout the country of India. He publishes a quarterly poetry newsletter entitled THE PEN(The Poetry Explosion Newsletter), and resides in Pittsburgh, PA.

    1. david,
      good fill in.
      the new junk mail is "social media"!!
      we'll do anything but touch or talk in person with each
      other.
      what degradation!!
      i'm so glad heaven only takes us "one at a time"(LOL)!!
