   Monsieur Gerôme is bit of sap / Having his model almost in his lap! / When posing sans clothes / Being sculpted so close / Risks getting grit in her “Venus Fly Trap.” 8>)

   It doesn’t always have to be a limerick. Who knew? / That’s now the unfortunate Bookworm’s view. / I mean he struggles with rhyme, / Never mind the scansion and time! / Ah, he’ll just leave it Ish, that’s the smart thing to do.

   Consider our young Marne of Killarney / Who’s beau was the strapping lad Carney. / But when Carney was seen / Romancing another colleen, / She gave him the gate, fed up with his unfaithful blarney!

    I’ve had a few more things come up that needed to be dealt with. But, “with a l’il bit o’ luck” (as my old friend Alfred P. Doolittle used to say), I think I’m on the mend. I’m sorry if I caused any concern, my friend.
