Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

A Delicacy to Delight the Most Discriminating Pig

    Porky Pig once stopped by my butcher shoppe 
     Pig was not looking for any old slop
        He searched high and low
        Meat tasted like crow
     'Please, Elmer, one pound of strings from your mop’

David Fisher February 6, 2025 at 5:50 PM Such a fun limerick; and I think it's the first time I've heard mop strings in a poem or as a meal-good one! Gershon Wolf February 9, 2025 at 9:19 PM Mop strings = Mr. Clean's 'corn-rows.' lol. ~ gw

Michael Tor February 5, 2025 at 12:50 AM He was facing his fears sadly he experienced what he feared being butchered lol... Gershon Wolf February 9, 2025 at 9:22 PM He'll never get that 'Kwazy Wabbit' this way!

John Read February 4, 2025 at 8:23 AM Porky pig visiting a butcher's shop is chancing fate lol. Gershon Wolf February 9, 2025 at 9:22 PM Very observant of you there, John.

Oliver Mckeithan February 4, 2025 at 2:29 AM LOL. Grew up on a farm with chickens and pigs. Pigs are actually discriminating eaters. Chickens not so much. Good one Gershon Wolf February 9, 2025 at 9:24 PM Chickens - Yecch! Dirtiest animals on the farm. Should be categorized as foul, i/o fowl! Chris Conn February 4, 2025 at 4:40 AM Pigs are definitely not discriminating eaters.

Karen Jones February 4, 2025 at 12:53 AM Poor Porky has not wisdom enough to avoid the butcher shop! Lol Gershon Wolf February 9, 2025 at 9:29 PM Ha, ha. Wisdom is not exactly Porky's strong suit, is it?
