Beaker the Muppet

Have sympathy for poor old Beaker Was given away by his squeaker Miss Piggy he'd kissed "You're dead!" Kermit hissed So raced through the set like a streaker ------------------------------------------ 16th April 2017 Inspired by Lin Lane's poem: https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/muppets_in_the_soup___join_in_892703

Thanks, Anne-Lise. I've only written a couple of limericks before (and this was the first one I've published) but was always a fan of The Muppets so couldn't pass up the opportunity!! Regards, John.
