April 30-Day Challenge: 1st Daily Limerick

A daily limerick?  Are you nuts?  What's a limerick? Why?  These are a sample of responses I've received to April's 30-Day Challenge.

Am I nuts?  Perhaps, but the 'why' is an easier question to answer.  Limericks have been a part of my life since I was teased by my little sister with this charming ditty.

There was a fat lady from Mecca

Whose name was Flabby Rebecca.

Whenever she ran,

She looked like a van,

And sometimes a red double decker.

Since then I've penned a verse or two from time to time, so a daily limerick seemed a stretching, but fun challenge for April.

Here's number one, dedicated to Kathy - the original utter butter nutter.

The delicious creamy goodness of butter,

Can't help but set my heart all a flutter.

On piping hot toast,

Margarine can't come close.

Yes it's true, I'm an utter butter nutter.
