Cryptic Butcher

I always reckoned my butcher was batty, With cryptic comments when he got chatty, I was shaking my head, when, with his wife he said, I would like all of you to... meet Patty.

Hello Phyllis... I had never thought about writing limericks until I saw how many poets post them here, so I thought I'd have a go and I do enjoy the challenge. I trust you enjoyed supper - Lindsay

G'day Subby... thanks for your comment. I don't think upsetting your butcher is a good career move either. Instead of meeting Patty you could be eating Patty - regards - Lindsay

G'day... now here's an idea for you Andrea seeing you mentioned serial killer but its sort of cryptic. Destroying somebody's wheat crop would make you a cereal killer also wouldn't it - sorry for the stupidity - Catch you soon Andrea - Lindsay

ha-ha... not quite Andrea... the butcher's just being a smart Alec in front of his mates when introducing his wife Patty... trying to be funny in other words. Thanks again Andrea - Lindsay
