Thumb In My Eye

A stupid place to stick my thumb Right in my eye that was so dumb It hurt so bad it made me cry The tears are streaming from my eye I can fix this, where’s my cheap rum

A cheap rum may make your eye numb, but a tot would do more good in the tum… Great limerick, Belle

Oh, what an astonishing Limerick, so profound, poignant, and astutely crafted. I found myself thoroughly amused by the clever inclusion of the line pertaining to inexpensive rum! Please continue your splendid work.
