Connie's Corner

Pattie Macurdy

In a couple of weeks I will be going to a meeting with one of my writing groups to celebrate one member's ninetieth birthday. She's providing the cake and ice cream and has asked each of us to write a limerick for her as her 90th birthday present. I hope she likes mine.

Pattie Macurdy

A lady named Pattie Macurdy
writes stories without being wordy.
A mantra of truth
She tells of her youth
and sometimes gets down and dirty.

Her hope is to publish a book
With a really enticing hook.
A small feat it’s not
She’ll give all she’s got
Without ever a backward look.

Now she’s in her ninetieth year
Her days have become very dear
Minutes to treasure
All of life’s pleasure
With good friends and kin far and near.

I’m happy to call her my friend
So I’m writing this limerick to send
Sweet birthday greetings
At Monday’s meeting
And godspeed that book will get penned.

until next time...c
