Hold This

Caesar to Brutus (in strife):
“I fear you’ve taken my Life …”
-	I thought you meant
-	It would be lent,
When you said: “Here … hold my knife”

Very clever and humorous limerick Jack! I love limericks and they're so much fun to write them. Beware! Because they can become addictive to most poets. Lol... I don't mind this kind of addiction at all if any one ask me. Cheers! xxxx D.

Hi Dorian! Glad you liked this one ... and, you're right! Limericks CAN become addictive. Stop by any time! Jack C

Ha, "An Honorable Man" and a rather good poet. Very humorous Jack, you should do more on Shakespeare.
