Foibles of Fred

There once was a man they called Fred.
who had to be tied to his bed.
When deep on the sauce
his cookies he'd toss.
Then proceed to fall on his head.


for "Short and Sweet' contest

hahaha, you are using FRED the same as I always do. I sent my mom a limerick with Fred as the "guy" in it, and my mom has a good friend named Fred, so she shared my poem with all his friends and they got a laugh out of it. This one would make them laugh too!!
