In the Green #4

by Kristina Woodhill

at a quarter to three she was seen
out runnin' 'cross St. Stephen's Green
pink skin all exposed
from her head to her toes
that pig fled the knife long and keen

This is the best limerick I read in awhile, Kristina. I hope it's in the limerick contest?

You can order a roast suckling pig at Thorntons in the Fitzwilliam Hotel, Dublin. They're located across the street from St. Stephen Green...now I know why! Delightful!

I didn't know what was happening with whom, and found meself clinging slowly...never havs a brief verse lasted so long for me...Og!

And then I feel like laughing and crying with relief.

The one who got away fled across the pond into ours on the thread of your lines, on the end of your poet's tines. :-)
