Miss Dating? Not Me! (Limerick)

Miss Dating? Not me!
By Madeleine Begun Kane

Before I was married I dated
Hardly ever, cause dating I hated.
Then I met hubby Mark,
Which created a spark.
Elated, we dated and mated.

    My husband Mark just read this and suggested 3 alternative last lines. Any preferences among these? Or should I keep my limerick as is?

    a) It was fated. Elated, we mated.

    b) Was it fated? Elated, we mated.

    c) Glad I waited — Elated we mated.

    Ah. Hmmm. As is works for me! But then I’m not ‘mark’ed’… :)

    Wonderful … the KISS technique works everytime!

  8. sister AE says:

    keep it as is. perhaps he wants to write his own first 4 lines to go with one of those alternative endings?

    I like it. I never cared too much for dating. Too many guessing games and mixed drinks. I much prefer being married. Now I can drink all I want and know where I’ll spend the night regardless.
