Pete's Enigma

Pete's spouse accused him of having no class. Socially, folks avoided him en masse. He had a most dreadful flaw, That made some people guffaw. He could not control the passing of gas! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired

A superbly constructed LIMERICK in 10/10/7/7/10 format, perfectly acceptable. and what a hoot! (pardon the pun!) I find that keeping the required meter is hard for me, so I don't try many of 'em. I'd rather be entertained by other peoples' efforts! BRAVO my friend!! Best wishes, Keith 7
