An Eye For An Eye

There once was a couple of brats who engaged in continuous spats. The result was a tie when each scratched out an eye - an old-Biblical tit for a tat! The brats awoke bleeding and weak when, half-seeing the havoc they’d wreaked, they discarded their clothes, their behinds to expose - a new-Biblical turning of cheek!

... turning of cheek! I never thought that could be turned dirty, but it happened... funny stuff! Typically I like limericks to just keep to the one stanza... but for this one it was absolutely necessary. Great humor with a good deal of nonsense... I like me some nonsense in my limericks :)

Thanks Andrea... on occasion, I have heard 'cat fight' in reference to a fight between women... Of course, I wouldn't dare take sides on a question such as this... I'm afraid I don't have 9 lives... Terry (in any case I'm happy you loiked the Lim...)

LOL, how do come up with these wonderful limericks? As I was reading this I immediately thought of "The Duel" by Eugene Field. Great write Terry.
