A Very Cunning Ham

There is a very cunning ham named Tom
Pens side-splitting limericks with aplomb
   When Soupers are down
   Tom removes their frowns
And their funny bones explode like a bomb 





              We love you, Tom!

Even your comments are hilarious, Tom! 'Gobsmacked!' -- I gotta incorporate that into my quiver of arrows. ~ Robin Hood
