Dog Gone
Or, If loose lips sink ships, what do loose leashes do?
A lass met a lad one fine day
Who sat crying, not joining in play.
"Why so sad?" said the lass.
The lad said, "Alas,
Loose-leashed Lassie left leaping away!"

About the Creator
Sonia Heidi Unruh
I love: my husband and children; all who claim me as family or friend; the first bite of chocolate; the last blue before sunset; solving puzzles; stroking cats; finding myself by writing; losing myself in reading; the Creator who is love.

“If loose lips sink ships, what do loose leashes do?” clever analogy.
Really very well done. Clever with great rhymes and a smooth flow. Great job Heidi.
Haha. This is great. I couldn't say the last line twice without messing it up.
Not only a delightful limerick, but a bit of an alliterative tongue twister for that last line.
I love it! you came through in spades!
