Courtney

 

This limerick was written for Courtney, the daughter of my niece, Melissa Terry.  We were all sitting around talking at a visit to Melissa's home in Everett Washington.  At one pointwhile my sister, Lavene Bell was playing with Courtney, she said, "Courtney, do you think that Uncle Gale knows that you are a fliberty jibbit? Now I haven't the faintest idea what a

fliberty jibbit is but it brought giggles from this lovely little girl.  I decided that anyone who was a fliberty jibbit, certainly ought to have a limerick written about them.

Courtney

 

Courtney, a fliberty jibbit,

Had a gift and wanted to give it.

She gave a great sigh

And started to cry,

Won't someone take a left-handed widget?
