An Italian Limerick

There is an Italian guy named Eddie
He works in a mill making confetti
One thing he did not like,
his union went on strike
Now he can’t afford to buy spaghetti

Who says a limerick has to be Irish?

There is no discrimination among true limerick lovers, Robert. People of all backgrounds have been known to write terrific limericks and I just love yours. But what can we do now to help poor Eddie? Let's chip in for a carton of spaghetti. Very funny limerick!! Love, Carolyn
