Peggy, you asked for it so here are a couple.


Listen Slower

In the South where the vowels are round
And gentility’s worth we expound
You’ll hear Mom ‘n ‘em say,
“Y’all come back, straight away!”
Northern ears don’t hear words, just a sound!


-----------------------------------


Conservation

Way down south where life’s pace is a crawl
Some folks think that we talk with a drawl
But we’re trying to curb
Excess use of a verb
And pronouns when we’re asking, “How Y’all”?



Note: Last line of Conservation was "And some nouns..." which has been edited.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy



Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.

Larry, sounds like a challenge...hmmm maybe a short story instead of a limerick.
