Hi John,

Thanks so much for reading and commenting!!! I much appreciate it!!! I am in truth going to Limerick Junction and Limerick both in Ireland next month. I am dreaming of taking a picture of myself and my traveling companion in both the towns, and I want a limerick to accompany the picture. Of course this all hinges on whether the rains let up long enough to get it snapped. As for the poem, I was not as concerned about the scansion in the last line as I was about the message's accuracy. Do you think the word "function" is appropriate for the context? Marc thought so. He is great with rhythm, isn't he? Of course you are as well.

Thanks again!!!

Peggy
