Pepper Happy

There once was a man named Little John
Who should have signed up for al-anon
Renowned fun merrymaker
Liked to hog the pepper shaker
Mean when black powder was gone

So funny - my husband's friend unscrews the pepper shaker top to do his business. LOL

An enjoyable Limerick, Line. I don't know why, but I keep getting this image of Rumpelstiltskin in mind! Regards // paul

Thanks for your most appreciated visit and comment. It is very funny how short poems invite the reader to conjure up vivid images sometimes more so than lengthier poems.

Hilarous! I love your limerick, Line. I could picture him, in a frenzy, beard and all! Why beard? No idea.
