It just struck me that it's time for limerick Friday. I can't believe I've not thought of it before now.

It's been another beautiful Autumn day and I've "wasted" a few moments gazing at the yellow shower of leaves in the back yard. Rain this morning brought a lot of them down and the following cold will bring that brittle factor to loosen them up good.

As I am just now getting into the swing of things I'll give you a limerick I used for the Ladies Night of Laughter (LNOL).

There once was girl named Loraine
She would sing bout the sun and the rain
Her voice was as clear
As the bells that you hear
But her pitch was as sharp as a pain

My character in the show that night was that of a Certified Limericist Folk Singer named Maple Leaf and I would sing a limerick between segments of the show. This limerick is best when heard in musical form. I tried very hard to sing as clearly and smoothly as I could for the first four lines and then came on strong with some sharp notes when I sang the fifth line about pitch.

So...I'm keeping this one short. I need to make the boys dinner and get them all ready for a babysitter. Kris is working late tonight and I have a LNOL viewing party to go to.
