her life; a precarious twirl
till one day she died
the angels; they cried
but continue, she did, to whirl 10/04/2003 Author's Note: a limerick

Well written. |
| Posted by Don Coffman on 10/07/03 at 07:35 PM Wonderful use of a limerick. In the carefree afterlife she gets to whirl away enjoying herself, unlike the danger when she lived. |

Peace... |
