A limerick-ish 'bout Jim
Entered in The first trophy comp ")
Jim Croce was a soulful man
his words could turn a white girl tan!
he sang songs from his heart
time in a bottle was smart
and I am his number one fan!
Maybe this one's the charm.
wish me luck Jim*

Speaking of limericks, or near-limericks.... :-)
"Well the South side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
You better just beware
Of a man named Leroy Brown
...
He got a custom Continental
He got an El Dorado too
He got a 32 gun
in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe
...
Well Friday 'bout a week ago
Leroy... ... shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar
Sat a girl named Dor[is]
And oh that girl looked nice"
--------
Also...
"If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
...
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
of how they were answered by you"
Not "perfect" limerick metre and rhymes, but AABBA form.
