An explorer called Nicholas Bean Used a jungle path for a latrine He started to pee Got stung by a bee His poor wotsit swelled up with gangrene. The natives said you need a vaccine Their witch doctor arrived on the scene With some healing plants Said “drop down your pants” Too late it had already turned green. Both limericks 9/9/5/5/9. Written 15th March 2019 For green humour contest Sponsored by Carolyn Devonshire.

Now this is great, solid humor, Tom. One has to pity poor Nicholas and his green "wotsit." Congratulations on your second-place win in the Green Contest! There were some excellent entries and you can be proud of your accomplishment. Hugs, Carolyn
