Andrea to be very frank i really sweat a lot to see the poem this way.Originally the first line ending i had sweet williams. but the name of sweets i know was not rhyming with williams.Hence i placed the name of a chocolate company "Mike & Irk".but if i go for another word not connected to sweets my concept will fail.You will see Mike & Irk,sweetheart ,sweet tooth,pop rocks,Bon-bon, candy, lollipop, toffee,Wonka laffy taffy cherry all connected with sweet and the last line the only place you find salt .The last line as you said the heart to his concept.Any way lot of thanks or placing this poem in your list.In fact its a great pride for me.So what's you next contest title? (: ) Jenish.

Your lines seemed irregular in this limerick but since that last line was such a killer for me, I wanted this on the list. Congrats. I love your humor. I am guessing "irk" sounds like "rock" for you?
