OLD BILLY There once was an old shark named Billy Billy was considered quite silly Ate anything in sight Until one fateful night He saw a mermaid oh so frilly And decided to eat mermaid stew Washed down with a great saltwater brew But he let out a groan She was made out of stone Now old Billy can no longer chew 4 August 2019 For the contest sponsored by Tania Kitchen

LOL, saw the title and had to see if it was about Billy Baroo. Congrats on your win.

Billy Baroo was a special putter in the movie 'Caddyshack'. They have clips of the scene on Youtube. That is neat that you had a teacher with my name, this is the first I have seen or heard of someone with my name.

Rob, thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your support. I'm not familiar with Billy Baroo, but by coincidence, I had a school teacher whose name was Robbie Carmack. She was one of our favorites. I'm from Dublin, Georgia and I graduated in 1963. Mrs. Carmack was in her mid 50's at that time. Just thought I'd share that with you since your name is Rob. Thanks again for your support.

Yeah, Tom, I think you may be right about that! When I read that there was a contest on limericks, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to throw my hat in the ring. It may not place, but it was fun to do.
