I met a man in a limerick

I wonder what makes him tick

By Pitt GriffinPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

He looked like an upper-class young man from the South

Yet he sounded more like a salt-of-the-earth Scouse

In greeting, his gnarled hand felt like sandpaper

Closeup, he smelled like an overripe caper

In departing, he left a bad taste in my mouth
