A Certain Cunning Ham Named Tom

There's a certain cunning ham named Tom
Who once crafted limericks with aplomb
  Lately, no funny new lims
  Has Tom's funny bone dimmed -- NO 
His computer's been infected with ROM!

Looking forward to that funny bone vibrating again, Tom. Love you anyway, no matter what. Your friend, Gershon

I have been pondering why you would call Tom a ham... I just got it. I think there's something wrong with my ROM :D Very clever.

Love this.... ! I too was wondering why this cunning tom doesn't write so much as before, these days... Your sense of humor stands out in the very usage of his name...

Tom has had a tough time with that monkey on his back but, as you can see, his spirits are lifting . . . .
