Tom Cunningham Poet Limerick

Rajid and Mulqueen

There was a young man named Rajid Dutta
Who lived in the city of Calcutta 
Got a flash from a girl
Who also gave a twirl
Embarrassed he fell face down in the gutta'

A grumpy old cheesmaker called Mulqueen
Was servicing his cheese making machine 
He replaced some worn out bands
It fired up took off his hands 
Now he's in big demand at Halloween.
