Limerick: Once a Miser Lost Hoard of Halfpence

Limerick : Once a Miser lost hoard of halfpence Once a Miser lost hoard of halfpence Looked high and low and over the fence When at last he found it It wasn’t worth his spit Ha’penny tipper got his comeuppance © T. Wignesan – Paris, 2013

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
