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

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.

Thanks, Jan. That really means a lot coming from you - it's my first "impromptu" limerick and my first ever collaboration! Regards, John.
