Ouch

In Sherwood Forest Friar Tuck
Fell down a ditch where he got stuck

Astride a broken branch
And, yes, I have a hunch

He waddles now like Donald Duck!

Talk about some ruffled feathers :) Cute limerick, Paul... amusing image. I also liked the PG tone of it (could have gone down some crasser road with that "uck" rhyme).
