We have a talented new member of the family here at WordRampage. Mad Giraffe had been boggling at another site for a couple of weeks. Then, about a week ago, Marla invited her to join us at WR. She's been hooked ever since...and why not? We're pretty much irresistible! During a conversation earlier this week, Marla and MLO encouraged Mad Giraffe to write a limerick about her experience here. She did such a great job, we just had to share it with everyone!There once was a sane giraffe
Who boggled just for a laugh
Many a 3-letter word
She found quite absurd
And now her poor brain's split in half
My life now just isn't the same
And boggling takes all the blame
I'm in a huge rut
Husband thinks I'm a nut
But I just can't stop playing the game
Vern is apparently an aspiring poet as well. The parents of each student in his daughter's third-grade class were asked to write a limerick about their child. Here's what our clever WR member wrote.
A glass-slippered princess named Allison
Had a pumpkin to ride to the palace in
But it didn't suffice
'Cause her cats ate the mice
So she rode in the car that her pal was in

So cute! I can't really take credit for inspiring Mad Giraffe, though. Her limericks were MUCH better than my little one! :) Keep those old brain halves a-working, gal! It feels good to laugh! :D
And Vern, yours was great, too. If your little "princess" is as smart as her daddy (& mom), none of the rest of us will EVER have a chance to make it to the #1 spot on the scoreboard!

P.S. I can relate to the nutcase idea my own husband & sons have about me playing boggle. They sometimes forget I really am a princess on my way to a palace! :)
