Analysis of Up , Up , and Away
On a breezy day early in spring ,
At the end of quite a long string ,
Flew a girl's favorite box kite ,
It climbed to such great height ,
That a jet found it caught on its wing .

About this poem
T'was penned by myself to underscore that we all have a MOTHER and all mothers were once young girls , with dreams . My mother passed before I wrote this limerick which uses every letter of the alphabet . I think my "totalphabetical" limerick is unique in that sense .
