Now interested in reading more of Dixon's poems.<br />@Liz Oh, I'd love to see what you come up with.<br />@Susan Yes, limericks are a great way to introduce poetry to children. Rhyming poems like limericks, and nursery rhymes, have that sing song quality that make it fun and engaging. It's what makes Mother Goose poems so timeless.<br />@Darla Aww, that so sweet. I wonder what he wrote on the note? ;-D<br />@Ryan Thanks for sharing that trip down memory lane.
