Mother's Limerick

After reading the limericks posted by Dylan, I remembered my attempt to write a limerick. I was attending Monticello Grade School and Mrs. Fowler was my teacher. She taught a combination 5th and 6th grade class. Mrs. Fowler asked her students to write a limerick. For some reason I had trouble. Our mother was touched by a muse. She wrote a limerick for me to share with my class. I think Mother had fun writing the 5 line poem. It gave her a chance to be creative. I have never forgotten what she wrote. Her limerick was well received by the instructor. I do not remember if Mom got the credit she deserved, though I was grateful to her for doing my homework.

Mother's Limerick

The old man in the moon
Came to earth in a great big balloon
When he arrived
To see women drive
He was shocked and went back to the moon.
