Written for Esther’s Laughing Along
With A Limerick #253. The prompt
word is ‘follow’. This is my limerick.
There was a detective named Drew
Who kept a record of every clue.
He’d follow the scent
With great intent
And his nose continually grew!

Thanks very much, Ange! The music is so important to me; like that pair of earrings to go with your little black dress, it needs to finish the outfit perfectly.
