Doubly Bugged

There once was a young fellow named Gus Who had no inclination to fuss. A mosquito flew by And bit Gus in the eye. It surprised me how young Gus could cuss. The mosquito who bit him was Grouch, And he carried his venom in pouch. He gave me a quick bite. I slapped him with full might. Now it's he who's the one yelling ouch. Inspired by Robert L. Hinshaw's "Bug Off" limerick. Thank you, Robert.

You are -- by far -- the best limerick writer among the ladies on the Soup. And that says a lot, because there are many talented Soup women. Congratulations, Joyce! Love, Carolyn
