I believe this limerick won a competition some time ago, the concluding lines I can remember go something like this:
Of envy I tire, I can live without ire,
But sloth is an absolute must.
Does anyone know the rest?

I'm too old for pride, greed, and lust,
And gluttony's for the robust.
Of envy, I tire;
I can live without ire.
But sloth is an absolute must!

I enjoyed which you probably did this piece. i'm inspired to jot down as quickly as lower back. I savor the cost of the rose that grew threw the concrete, reference. great touch. The third stanza replaced into the final for me. good lines and visuals. All in all a great attempt. Temari

That's fantastic. Never heard it before but I shall definitely remember it. And, as I teach in a Roman Catholic school, I reckon it could come in useful!
