The richest gal I ever knew  
Invented a fantastic kind of glue  
Where lying liars  
Lie stuck to lyres  
Too bad she didn’t patent that goo

Just noticed this: for my small contribution, I thank you, and to my co-contributors, yes, that one did turn out rather nicely.

There have been some others here I would like to have given a star or upvote to. May we feel free to recognize those that strike us as especially nicely done, without being otherwise critical, or is even an occasional “clap” not in the spirit of the game?

I say yes. I’ve clapped for a few along the way - not for all of the limericks that I’ve liked but for some of the ones that I think really stand out. I am speaking as the Poet Laureate of my own head.
