The Gift  (Limerick)

At the end of a trip to Tibet

I brought home for my daughter a pet

"You fool," said her Mamma

"She asked for a 'LLAMA'

You're short of one 'L' I regret."

Ray,

Thank you so much for that constructive comment.
Until you mentioned it I would never in a thousand years have twigged anything was wrong,

It took me a couple of readings to figure out the reason was simply down to my Scottish upbringing, Glasgow in particular !

Sorted.

Limericks are a real test for the mind David but worth the effort. Bravissimo! If I could make a suggestion how about" home for my daughter" just to clarify that. With respect.

Ray
