Lee

There was a young man named Lee
Who left home without a key
He came back in the dark
His wife fired a shot
Then checked to see who was he

So funny and cute. We're left in suspense as to her real intention... but we can all read between the lines.

Lee was lucky and so were you that the judge didn't notice your 3rd and 4th lines didn't rhyme as they should in a limerick. It's a good limerick idea, so maybe you can work on the rhyme if you'd like to make it better.

Shoot first, then ask questions. I hope she missed him.
