Old Man From Missouri

There was an old man from Missouri.
Biting his nails, he tended to worry. 
Taping his fingers to stop the bad habit,
he switched to candy wherever he could grab it,
and once he was full, he always got purry.

Thanks, Brian! I haven't written limericks before these three. My problem is I never feel like my poems are finished. I always want to go back to make some edits. Be well, Thomas
