The masked bandit known as John Doe

Growled, "Stick 'em up! Gimme your dough!"

Said I, "This takes the cake, sir.

You've held up a baker!

So, here you go ..." Cried Doe, "Dough?!? D'oh!"

:-b

This poem is dedicated to the creative Andrei Z, who became my 100th subscriber!!! Hooray!!

Congratulations! (Pixabay)

Andrei accepted my invitation to suggest two words to incorporate in a limerick. He gave me: doe and dough. At first I played around with the idea of a deer who wanted to earn bucks as a tailor ... but then landed on this poem instead.

I'm having too much fun to stop now ... so if you want to play along, click below to subscribe and then comment with two words or one theme of your choosing. I'll credit you in the poem notes (whether you like it or not!).

To my already-reader-friends, if you want ME to give YOU two words or a theme for a funny poem (punny foam?), comment below! Thanks!
