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

Below the hat and above the neck, I love Huck and Tom a bushel and a peck! :) w

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.
