The Woman from Crewe

There was an old woman from Crewe
who never knew what she should do
She’d get on a train
then get off again
and wave goodbye, cheerio, toodleoo

My limerick was written for Esther Chilton’s Laughing Along with a Limerick #288. Thank you, Esther, for such fun inspiration.

Process note: This piece began as a quick response to Esther’s prompt, sketched first in pencil before being shaped into digital ink and watercolour in Procreate on my iPad.
