Notes About The Poem

My limericks, with commentary, are collected in Original Clean Limericks, available from Amazon. See my book links.

On the Art of Pie-Throwing

Receiving a pie in the crown,
It just might occasion a frown.
But bear well in mind,
One always will find,
The target is never the clown.

A lovely limerick. I think the lesson is always wear a clown costume. Lol.

Sometimes, maybe a clown...but I lick instead of frown. Pies are good. So is your tasty poem. Bravo.

Thank you! Pie tends to show up in my limericks, as does pi. It's tasty however it arrives.
