Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Poor Gary Ghoul

Poor little Gary Ghoul was flunking class
He was just too nice; he couldn't be crass
   He would try to scream 'boo'
   But could only say 'mew'
Teacher asked: "Want to learn how to pass gas?"

Sam Kauffman October 19, 2020 at 2:25 PM Think I'll pass on this one, GW! Not so silent but equally deadly! Maybe a little onion soup would help your spirit. Congratulations on your aromatic winner.

Caren Krutsinger October 15, 2020 at 3:19 AM That is the kind of teacher I love! Gershon Wolf October 15, 2020 at 4:51 PM Yes, indeed. This teacher is a real gas. :)

Lindsay Laurie October 14, 2020 at 5:53 PM Crikey Gershon … just a diet of under cooked and cabbage will send him to top of the class - thanks Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf October 14, 2020 at 8:19 PM Ha, ha! Thanks for the hilarious comment, Lindsay. You're a real gas, my friend!

Susan Ashley October 13, 2020 at 8:25 PM Lol! Is that what they’re teaching in school these days?! Poor Gary Ghoul was a zero in school :) Such a fun limerick! Your witty pen never lets you down, Gershon. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Gershon Wolf October 14, 2020 at 2:06 PM And it's quite a trick or treat to teach passing gas online/remotely. But that's the wonder of technology, I guess. Thanks for the encouragement, Susan. Happy Wednesday! :) gw
