Notes About The Poem

Mulqueens Encore

A scientist by the name of Mulqueen
Wanted to create a Patrick's day scene
Some borax he ignited
The Irish were excited 
When over town he sent clouds of bright green.

The crowds called an encore they did insist
Mulqueen quite drunk now he couldn't resist
To liven up the party
Mixed borax with TNT
And the town vaporised in a green mist.

Sponsored by Tania Kitchin

Both limericks 10/10/7/7/10.
Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a very high explosive)
