I read this haiku and the following limerick over the phone to my son in Denver. The limerick brought a snort of laughter, then he said, "Isn't that kind of gruesome?" So, in order that you not think that I am bloodthirsty, I offer the haiku first:
Diamond ring sparkles
intentions of life-long love.
Plain gold ring seals it.
Yes, that's my hand and it shows my age.I was holding my camera in one hand
to take a picture of the other hand.
My diamond really sparkles a lot more than that!
CHOKER (limerick)
Amanda was known to be feckless
And also was frequently reckless.
With a flick of her wrist
Her beads were atwist
And she strangled herself with her necklace.
Amanda was known to be feckless
And also was frequently reckless.
With a flick of her wrist
Her beads were atwist
And she strangled herself with her necklace.
