Mass Murderer

This limerick could be quite a chiller;
as a movie would be a nice thriller.
Who set fire to the wheat? 
Leaving stubble and heat -
I hope they catch the cereal killer.

Good day, Lindsay. One must eat their Wheaties if they intend to catch the cereal killer. Hilarious!

G'day Charles … A bit of a silly limerick Charles, but yes, breakfast will never be the same if they don't catch this firebug - thanks Charles - Lindsay

Hello Panagiota … I gather you had a humorous 'groan' when you read this. Like a few others on this site, I enjoy playing with the English language - catch you soon Panagiota - Lindsay

Hello once again Connie … It is the style of poetry I prefer to write. An entertainer once told me to always leave people happier when they leave as to when they arrived. I do enjoy reading most forms of poetry though - thank you Connie - Lindsay

G'day there Timothy Old Son … Pleased you enjoyed this bit of silliness of mine. Was it in Limerick in Ireland that the limerick first became popular? Thanks Timothy - Lindsay
