Pickles and Tickles Craze

There is a comic known as Don Rickles Whose withering wit our ribs he tickles Some people take great offense When skewered at their expense Leaving them as dour as sour dill pickles Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired © All Rights Reserved Placed No. 3 in PD's "Pickles & Tickles Limerick Craze" Contest - November 2010
