Nonsense Creatures Limericks: The Valentine Bird of Hartford/Hertford*

Paul Rance
Valentine Bird may look absurd,
It's true, 'love' is her only word;
On lonely souls she spreads,
Hearts in all single beds,
So silent she's never been heard.

* The various Hartfords in the US, or Hertford in England!

    Nice limerick, Paul, you should have posted your "Bird" from the other slideshow with this - so folks could see her again! Cheers.
