Bombay Boozer

~.~.~.~.~.




           There once was a man from Bombay.
           Insistent, on having his way!
           Poor devil, drove drunk.
           Mashed his car into a trunk.
           Wife bailed him out, no delay.

Joe Dimino Date: 4/25/2021 8:57:00 AM Of course, the man from Bombay was a man from Bombay who may not even be alive today (you're poem is perfectly correct!) And the Bailing Spouse could be called, the pillar of the house... but some see everyone but themselves, a louse-- Love your poem!!

If this Limerick is correct...it is my first one.hurrah! I have not been able to pen one yet! There actually was a gin named Bombay Gin, hence the source of this Limerick. Thank you for being so supportive and emotive. Love LIVELY comments... Pangie xx

I am glad, however, you pointed out for all, the correct name. You must have graduated Summa Cum Laude. Congratulations on an informative comment. Pangie xx
