Man From Nantucket - Redux

He’s much older, the man from Nantucket
can too easily fold, roll, or tuck it
his hearing has faded
his memory jaded
don’t remind him of where he once stuck it

G'day John … nice limerick, although I was wary about what was to rhyme with Nantucket - my filthy mind at work. Enjoyed - Lindsay
