532 : The Secret Fertilizer


Mad Kane has a regular limerick challenge.
She provides the first line,
the rest is up to us.

The Secret Fertilizer

A woman was holding a rose
And the prize that it won in the shows.
And no-one suspected
Her success was connected
With the spot where she buried her beaus.

  8. Cos, great limerick. Actually, brings Hitchcock's "Rear Window" to mind... Remember Thelma Ritter digging up the flowers?

    Too funny, too wickedly clever. Oops, almost wrote "cleaver," really!! Amy
