My Favourite Dish

Big, bad Bubba knew how to dish it out Without provocation he’d start to shout His bedroom “dish” took a hike The last time his temper spiked When she saw steam fuming out his big snout *Entry for David’s “My Favourite Dish” contest

With the name of "Bubba", this reminded me a bit of an old television commercial with James Earl Jones for Bell Telephone's Yellow Pages. This is a fine example of a limerick, Carol.

Hey! I've known guys like Bubba. They usually have a "dish" who resembles a collie dog in temperament. I am so happy that Bubba's dish offered the large finger. Love this gotcha piece. Love, daver

Funny Limerick. Bubba's 'Dish' dashed when he dished it out. He should have tried flatter on a platter.
