Archie Bunker's Chair

Nobody sat in Archie Bunker's chair

   From which he bloviated with a flair!

      He drove Meat Head up the wall,

         With unmitigated gall!

            Hapless Edith umpired to clear the air!

I guess Archie and "The Big Bang"s Sheldon have something in common. Congratulations, Robert! I believe the chair spent time at the Smithsonian. :)

How sharp the contrast is between Archie and Edith. Opposites really, and that worn out old chair was like a throne to Archie. Great limerick, Bob! Congrats on your first-place win, Carolyn
