A woman was peeved at her mate
for not taking her on a date.
Her love was the sky.
She wanted to fly,

This poem was written for Mad Kane's Limerick-Off contest,
where there are so many laughs, it's hard to be the best.
 
 
P.S.  A loonie's a person who loves balloons.
You can see more here. (No, it is not cartoons.)

    Dear Rachel,
    This sure sounds loonie and I don't know whether to laugh or feel sad, but thanks for sharing all the same.

      I did a little of both, Andy - laugh and be sad. I talk to my kitty like that, but... :o/
