Laurel and Hardy

LAUREL was a man with not much class
And HARDY was known as a pompous ass
Stan can’t keep his big mouth shut
Ollie would strike a stinging cut 
“Another fine mess…,” he would always sass

Great Limerick, Michael. Good choice of L & H - I'd forgotten about them, to my shame. Good luck. Viv
