Quick and the Dead

There once a dare devil named Dan smugly swung with only one hand forgot and let go of the rope in tow sank in a thick pool of quicksand.

Thank you Anaya! I answer to either. People typically call me Linda because it's my first given name but I am called Alice by many. I asked to be called Alice in school at one time, a long time ago (a surprise to my family-Ha!-always the enigma, I was/am). :)

Poor Dan! Sounds like the daredevil in him came to a bad end. How'd he lose his other hand, feeding a crocodile?! Funny but a bit sad! Glad it's just your funny pen and not an obituary!!

Ha! It's just a limerick...sometimes bawdy, most times silly, hopefully always fun! Thanks for the visit Betty Jo. :)
