Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Limerick

Clawed Claude

There once was a lion tamer named Claude

   For twenty years the cheering hordes he'd awed

      He had been bitten and mauled

         But the mad crowds he enthralled

            Alas, Claude met his doom when he was clawed!

Andrea Dietrich June 9, 2012 at 7:54 PM I love how you put together claude with clawed in that last line. that is what makes a limerick stand out!
