Looking Back by Fuller Royal

Limericks by Bob Aldrich

Alligators face a big hurdle.
They take fifteen years to become fertile.
More of ours reached that age
With its egg hatching stage
And our lake they soon will engirdle.

We can’t see into each other’s brains.
So a need to be careful remains.
Our life’s traffic demands
That we steer with both hands
And we signal before changing lanes.

Now the hurricane season’s begun
It’s November before the threat’s done
We want storms to stay small,
Never make a landfall
And their winds never reach a cat one
