Planet Bling


Image by Idea go via freedigitalphotos.net

A woman who felt she'd been had
looked down at her ring and was sad.
They'd found one bigger,
not with a digger.
Now planet bling is the most rad.

    That woman must be a little glad
    As her finger would be quite sad
    If that planet was on it
    Because it be squashed a bit
    And she curse some poor lad

    No WAY -- that IS rad.

    And funny, my daughter asked me earlier, rhetorically, if maybe hte biggest gold nugget is still undiscovered. This post makes me think maybe there is a whole gold planet somewhere. Hey -- why not?? the Universe is freaking amazing.

    Well darn, I didn't even think about writing a limerick. This was a lot of fun. My diamond is the size of a Horton's Who planet.

    we can't have everything, and somehow, as obvious as that is, we become most disappointed not to possess things we never really can. that's what your words say to me:)
