Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

A Wee Orphaned Lad

There was a wee orphaned lad named Kerplunk
Poor kid wore clothes to school that always stunk
   The principal despaired
   Asked, 'Kerplunk, don't you care?'
Said Plunk: 'What if your new parents were skunks?'

Beryl Edmonds October 19, 2020 at 1:44 AM Kerplunk found a good way not to stink, He washed down in the school washroom sink, Got caught in the nude, Caned for breaking rules, And the kids now greet Plunk with a wink. A fun Limerick Gershon... Gershon Wolf October 19, 2020 at 7:52 AM I like your Limerick about Kerplunk better than mine, Belle! Thanks for the chuckle! ~ Vershtunk
