Happy Valentine’s Day

14th Feb 2020 By magickmermaid

A handsome young gnome called Benny

Was admired by gnome maidens a-plenty

He found a fine wife

They have a most happy life

And were blessed with good children four-and-twenty.

Limerick #6 🙂

  Thank you so much! Actually, it takes me longer than most because I have no formal training. Still trying to work things out. 😀

    There are many artists in this world without formal training, yet they still create. We can learn so much from just reading or going to a museum or … Don’t hide your light under a bushel!
