My Mother's Stroke (a limerick for the Serious Limerick workshop)

In these bodies we really are, "stuck".,

it's difficult getting through all the muck !

Mom just died from a stroke,

and was comfortably broke;

so it seems death's a stroke of "good luck"!

Doc

Our thoughts are with you,
another wave in the eternal perfection,
as we take our stations in that other world of Spirit.
My thoughts to you all there,
Yours Ian

To you doc.
I'm sorry to hear that you've lost such a good friend as your mom.
Your words are very expressive.
