Limerick: Once a Miser Lost Hoard of Halfpence

I think I got the point, Andrea! Perhaps it's this sweltering heat getting in the way...Or is it the way Jean-Louis Trintingnant asks for a bottle of mercury at the drug store, I don't quite know. Maybe it's these darned words taking hold of the user who can't really spell them out. Whatever! We're all caught up in their strangle-holds and might drown in them! Many thanks. Wignesan
