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. Written 28th February 2021. Two Limericks - Let's have some Fun! Poetry Contest. Sponsored by Tania Kitchin Both limericks 10/10/7/7/10. Trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a very high explosive)
