Limerick: Once a Mincing Mrs From Mississippi

Limerick: Once a mincing Mrs. from Mississippi Once a mincing Mrs. from Mississippi* Went to a bank for a fiddle-d-dee But her girdle got stuck And the “SS” came unstuck That’s why Missis ends as a double P.. *No aspersions cast on Mississippians here; the term refers to the Paleozoic era in North America, following the Devonian and preceding the Pennsylvanian, of course. © T.

Might I ask what you meant by "fun"? I wrote it in all seriousness, for i'm not one to laugh at a lady in distress, even if she needed only a hand with her girdle. Okay, thanks a lot, Anne Lise. Grateful for the kudos. Many thanks and every good wish. Wignesan
