Bimbo was the name of our dog
(Tho’ my memory is a bit of a fog)
We left her behind
When we were reassigned
[how would you finish my limerick?]
True story — I don’t really remember our dog, Bimbo. I do, however, remember that Bimbo turned up in Ft. Devens after we had to leave her behind in Ethiopia. I mean, we found another home for her before we returned, and my parents had told us that we couldn’t take her back to the states, and yet, somehow, her new family had solved that problem.
Is it really a tragedy? I don’t know. I can’t even remember what Bimbo looked like.
A few years ago I did the A-to-Z Challenge using collages I had made alongside unfinished limericks. I especially enjoyed the unfinished limerick part. It was very audience-participation-ish.
This year I thought I would try using old photographs and unfinished limericks. Can you finish this limerick?
