Duke Beaufort Poet Limerick

Limerick Joke Vii

Moses had a liking for tea
And sipped it crossing the Red Sea
How could the good taste
Be maintained in such haste?
He-brewed the leaves naturally

Author's note: Based on a joke heard at one of the shops in the Old Town section of Scottsdale.

LOL. best wishes and poetry hugs to you and yours for the coming year ahead. Jennifer Duke Beaufort January 16, 2019 at 6:18 AM Whatever it was, it was not very good for the Egyptians!! So, do slave lords end up in bad shape for real? I think it's an allegory for breaking the bonds that keep us from our repressed destiny.
