Question: Is this a sea worthy Limerick!?
Limerick #1
By C!.S!. Scotkin

There once was a gal on an island
Who liked to cry out on a pilin’
Watch tides in and out
Till she gave a shout,
“My ship’s come in at last” and she’s smilin’

I am not sure what a "pilin' " is but I would imagine a pylon would be something by the sea she may sit on and cry!. (am I being regional again!?)

* pilin' for me is another medical term!. :-)

Otherwise it's a really good limerick arrgh to be shore to be shore!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"Pylon" would work in L2!.
And the last line is too long!.
"Her ship has come in and she's smilin"

Let's all lift our glass in a toast
To this lady who lives near the coast
She's smart and she's funny
Her poems bright and sunny
And friend, that's a fact, not a boast!!
