From Rome to Nome

The assignment for the 10th poem of 2022 was to write a haiku or a limerick. I came up with an idea I liked for a limerick, but I couldn't decide on a final version to use. So here are three versions of From Rome to Nome



A very fine lady from Rome,

Got lost one day on her way home. 

When she hit Alaska

A local there asked her

Why don’t you just move here to Nome! 

OR

A ditzy young lady from Rome

Got lost again going home.

Up North she gave in,

Swapped her R for an N;

Now she’s settled and happy in Nome

OR

A very fine lady from Rome,

Got lost one day on her way home. 

She got so far off track

There was no going back,

And now she’s a lady from Nome.
