Laughing Along With A Limerick.
The prompt word is “fake”.

A nervous young fellow named Bing
Proposed with a big plastic ring.
His girl knew it was fake
And cried out “For Pete’s sake!
It’s just such a cheap tacky thing!”

This is “Fake Ring” by Taylor Austin Dye

Very funny, and poor old Bing, should’ve got a real ring.

Hope he has plans to seal the deal with something more permanent. And that she can muster her sense of humor!

Haha … it’s the thought that counts, true love does not have a price … Carole ring was a silver one of seven rings held together by a silver band … seven rings of good luck … we had seven good years, before MS struck …

What a lovely and appropriate story, my dear friend. You’re right, of course. The things that are really important in life cannot have a price tag attached. Thank you! 🥰

Nancy, I love how this limerick turns a nervous proposal into a perfectly comic little disaster, with the “big plastic ring” doing all the hilarious damage.
