Out To Please

There was a top chef called McRoth
Who made a delicious fish broth,
And to please Mrs Jones
Who had phobia of bones
He sieved it through layers of cloth!

Eileen Manassian Date: 5/8/2018 4:56:00 PM Great limerick, my dear. I don't have much to say about a fish broth as you know I'm vegetarian.... ;) Login to Reply Paul Callus Date: 5/12/2018 7:29:00 AM Thank you, Eileen.
