John, Paul, George and Ringo

Last night's gig at the local casino
   Four lads: John, Paul, George and Ringo--
          Two Popes and a King
          The Fourth couldn't sing--
   They should have hired Placido Domingo

Great Limerick! I think that if given the chance, Placido Domingo would have jumped at the chance to sing with the Beatles. Well done.
