Perhaps, it is only a cynical limerick, perhaps it is reality and even though I do not know Terry, I've "met" you on writers' turnpike and to me, Carolyn, you are so beautiful and svelte, in your chiffon dress of light pink and your smile, exquisite in glow, your beautiful blond hair, blowing in the breezes. Beauty, after all, is in the eye of the beholder, so they say and in the successes and fails of the subject one. I love your limerick and the fact you are able to poke fun at yourself, (I am quite notorious for that, too) but all of the "outer" I see, is defined in my first words herein......... and, Terry, just for collabing with this lovely Carolyn, you must certainly be a wonder to see and to know! What a grand team! Your limerick is very apropos in the cynical and humor department though and would be right at the top with the best of the best!
