Jack's Quite Nimble

An old limerick writer named Jack
Wrote limericks in stack upon stack
But truth be told
He wasn’t that bold
He let laughter o’ershadow the facts.

I thought that was the number 1 requirement for writing limericks. I know I've been known to "o'ershadow" a few. Very enjoyable, John.
