He’s adept at not mincing his words Venom flows like enormous great turds On his throne he will sit Vitriol he will spit Packs a punch in the heart of us birds Some may know a man just like this Words like fists - he slams us a kiss He is cruel; he is curt Using speech that could hurt His sharp words you cannot dismiss Can’t control what flows out from his mush To the point - he won’t beat round the bush There’s no compromise No little white lies Tells you straight that you’ve got a huge tush!

You did it again! A good limerick with great rhymes. I grew up French, so I got to eat and like much of what I was served on the plate. To this day, I love liver (calves and chicken), pickled lamb tongues (with ketchup, yum yum), chicken hearts, head cheese (made from pigs lard flavored with bits of savory pork), and many other goodies. Hope you're not vomiting, Jan. / M Best to you in the contest. / M
