Bombay Boozer

~.~.~.~.~. There once was a man from Bombay. Insistent, on having his way! Poor devil, drove drunk. Mashed his car into a trunk. Wife bailed him out, no delay. 4/24/2021

Of course, the man from Bombay was a man from Bombay who may not even be alive today (you're poem is perfectly correct!) And the Bailing Spouse could be called, the pillar of the house... but some see everyone but themselves, a louse-- Love your poem!!

Prince de Mino!..... Hugs to you. I was really concentrating on the form, not city name. If this Limerick is correct...it is my first one.hurrah! I have not been able to pen one yet! There actually was a gin named Bombay Gin, hence the source of this Limerick. Thank you for being so supportive and emotive. Love LIVELY comments... Pangie xx

That man now must live in Mumbai; since India officially changed the name of the city. Clever write.

Robert...dead clue I am older than you. Personally I love the word, BOMBAY. It will never be Mumbai. to me. I am glad, however, you pointed out for all, the correct name. You must have graduated Summa Cum Laude. Congratulations on an informative comment. Pangie xx

The wife who saved her man from the jailhouse, She was herself a boozing, hellish spouse, They spent nowt on food, The house, clothes or shoes, All they earned went to the pub managed house.
