Hi Marc,

Thank you very much for pointing out my varying rhythms. I've never been good on rhythm, but do occasionally attempt to write some ballad rhythm in some poems or syllable counting in others such as limericks. I indeed wrote this poem to celebrate a trip I am taking in August: I'm going to Ireland and while there am going both to Limerick and to Limerick Junction. This poem was an attempt in correct and accurate rhyme and word choice mostly. My major question so far is "Does the word 'function' convey the correct meaning? In other words, is it used correctly in the context of the line?"

Thank you for reading and trying to help!! Much appreciated!
