Lunch With Tom Sawyer 

I won a lunch for two with Tom Sawyer
And there he was waiting in the foyer 
  He wore his best old straw hat
  But was told "You can't wear that" 
Good thing I'm a hayseed defense lawyer

G'day Gershon … it's what is below the hat that matters, but I guess a farmer in the city doesn't fit in well - thank you Gershon - Lindsay

Hayseed! Hey! This is an Iowa-Missouri-Kansas term! They know "hayseed" in Illinois? In Chicago? Wow! I lived there 9 years and never heard it.

I can just picture Tom Sawyer and that hayseed defense lawyer-bet he won the case, too. Delightful limerick, Gershon.
