Written for Esther’s Laughing Along
With A Limerick #227 with the prompt
word ‘leave’. This is my limerick.
There once was a fellow named Steve,
Who decided one day he would leave.
He packed up his gear
With hardly a tear,
And vanished one fine summer eve.

Good-by Steve. Perhaps he went off with Mack from the other story.

Thanks much, Esther! I wrote the limerick first, then was lucky to find the graphic. The song just fell into place. I’m glad you enjoyed this one!
