Good for you Wiley, or as they say in Australia ‘good on ya’. You are an example to us all!. Even though I am a spring chicken and seventeen years your junior, I try to write a triolet a day for the fading brain’s sake..


*NB ‘Daily’ when pronounced with an Australian accent sounds like ‘dielee’.


There was a wily old bloke called Wiley
who created a limerick daily*.
To keep his Parkinsons at bay
he composed only one a day
and then posted them all with a smiley!

Hey Derek, I thik your limeerick is the first poem ever written on my name or for me at all. I will keep it in one of my notebooks of poems for my grandchildren and great grandchildren. Thanks,

Wile (sometimes called Wiley Fox)

A poet of Australian clime
writes verses of curious rhyme
such as Derek, his forename,
with Herrick, the surname,
of one who told virgins to make much of time.

Hello Wile,
Thank you. That is great to hear. I am honoured.

Derek.

Thanks, Wile,

I am flattered by your use of Derek and Herrick. It may, of course, only be for the sake of rhyme! Bravo. An excellent limerick.

Derek.
