Ring of Truth
By Madeleine Begun Kane
“This engagement ring — that’s what I’d like,”
Said the gal to her boyfriend named Mike.
But looking unsteady,
Said Mike, “I’m not ready,
So can’t I just buy you a bike?”[tags]Engagement Humor, Diamond Rings, Jewelry Shopping Poem[/tags]

That’s great…
It sounds like a few problems need to be sorted out in this so-called relationship.
Nice one Mad !!
Love that one! Here’s what happened to me once, in the “ring” department. It’s not a limerick, but the poem is based on a true story.

Sitting in a doctor’s office waiting room this afternoon with my kid, I will work on this week’s prompt. ;-)
