I was always an over-achiever!
A sweet little penguin called Smudgie Has an urge that she simply can't budge. She was waiting some time for the end of a rhyme When she'd give the "lock thread" key a nudge... hee hee.
Sorry, folks... I think eighteen months is probably long enough for our creative juices to be employed on limericks. Let's see if we can find something different to play for a while.
