LIMERICK CONTEST

             The Tale of Clairvoyant Grey

      There was a young clairvoyant named Grey
      Who said, “I see I shall garden today.”
      Then he went out in a rush,
      And fell in a bush.
      That unfortunate clairvoyant named Grey.

      That unfortunate young seer named Grey
      Said, “I see I’ll avoid bushes today.”
      But he got in a muddle
      And fell in a puddle,
      That incompetent clairvoyant named Grey.

      That incompetent young seer named Grey
      Said, “I shall give up clairvoyance today.”
      But, not looking ahead,
      On a spider did tread
      And expired that very same day.
