The people of Chilmark were fitter
before they had Facebook and Twitter.
At the beach every man
Would work on his tan
And the girls left their kids with the sitter.

ReplyDeleteI smile at your lighthearted limericks, Stafford, after leaving my grayscale poems to make the Magpie rounds. This week I saw the god Mercury leading the dead souls to the underworld (as the myth has it):-)
