Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

A Who-Done-It

~ It's a 'Gimmerick,' i.e., 'Limerick-Style' ~ 

 Three suspects on the train
 A nanny, a granny, and 'the butler'
    The nanny's too young
    The granny's too old
 Someone whispered the name of 'the butler'

 A trio of suspicious characters on the bus
 A burglar, a gurgler, and 'the butler'
    The burglar's too quiet
    The gurgler's a riot
 Someone whispered the name of 'the butler'

 A triumvirate of VIP's on the plane
 A President, a Prime Minister, and The Pope
    The President's too cautious
    The Prime Minister's nauseous
 The Pope whispered the name of 'the butler'

 The train and the bus pulled into the station
 The plane landed nearby, a short ambulation
    President's limo whisked him away
    Prime Minister sneaked on the subway
 The Pope? DOA, poor chap ~ Self-strangulation
