Dead Mute

There once was a boy from Sauk City had mandibles toothy and pretty but when he spoke his larynx broke Parental-types said, “What a pity” So they took him to a physician who said, “This is an imposition” he gave the boy a pill which was designed to kill and forwarded him to the mortician The mortician built a long box to entomb the boy who just squawks To plug the holes and keep out moles he utilized multiple caulks A most gruesome tale and quite gory. Does a moral lie in this story? Would you give me a shout if you figure it out? It may lead one into satori

The moral is in your name. At Limericks you are never tame. You seem quite good. And so you should. Keep the monkier, find the fame.

Hi John, This was quite a gruesome tale for sure. I'm stumped as well. But why not, the moral of the story is "accept someone as they are even if they appear to be different or broken. I know I'm probably way off. But thought I'd give it a try. I enjoyed the read:-) Alexis o
