Ad-Verse

There once was a poet whose verse
Was so awful that readers would curse.
     But the rules on the Soup
     Wouldn't let them say "Poop!"
Though they wanted, of course, to say worse!



for Andrea's Limerick contest

I agree. Kind of funny that murder, mayhem and flesh-eating zombies are OK, but not a bit of vulgar Anglo-Saxon. Try French. Well done! Congratulations!
