The Reverend Silas Tucker and his much younger wife Elisa. It is rumoured that certain disreputable individuals in a tavern in the town are amusing themselves by composing limericks featuring the beauteous and pouting Mrs. Tucker. Stop sniggering at the back there ! ! ! The Reverend remains blissfully unaware and turns his mind to higher things.

Thankee C,pn praise indeed from a maestro. One of the best pieces of advice which I,ve tried to follow is to crop the pics when you think it needed . Can I take the opportunity to slip in a couple more parishioners, oh by the way, another limerick has surfaced it begins -------- There was a young lady named Tucker , Who had worked as a chicken plucker , She fed them grain from a bucket, Till she married a rev from Nantucket ,------------------------ I,m sorry but I c,ant complete the last line without descending into Benny Hill territory - any suggestions would be more than welcome.
