Glenn Reinhardt and his 8-year-old daughter Camryn of San Antonio, Texas, co-authored a limerick that makes clever use of the words leopard, shepherd, and peppered. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Leopard Limerick”
We heard from Glenn Reinhart in San Antonio, Texas.
And he writes,
Last week my daughter, 8-year-old Cameron, and I were listening to a past episode of A Way with Words.
During the puzzle with John Chaneski, Martha commented on how the words peppered and leopard rhyme and should be part of a limerick.
So Cameron and I took up Martha’s children.
Let’s see it.
Okay.
This limerick is called the fastidious feline.
A hungry yet finicky leopard, one day she encountered a shepherd, but she chose to get thinner instead of making him dinner, for the man was not salted and peppered.
Oh, nice.
I think that’s a pretty great collaboration between a guy and his eight-year-old daughter.
Congratulations, Cameron.
Good stuff.
Good stuff.
