Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Rather Prosaic

There once was a poet from Passaic*
All his poems were rather prosaic --
   He'd heard it worked nice
   To throw in some spice --
~ 'Twas expired, now his penning's archaic


    
   


*Passaic is a town in the state of New Jersey (USA)

Chris Green August 27, 2019 at 7:29 AM Another good one and I am familiar with Passaic, I grew up in south Jersey. Gershon Wolf August 27, 2019 at 1:05 PM I have a daughter and family in Elizabeth, moving soon to Teaneck. Many friends' sons have attended yeshiva in Passaic. Small world. :) gw

Richard Lamoureux August 26, 2019 at 8:07 PM I would go for it Gershon. ;0) Gershon Wolf August 26, 2019 at 8:13 PM Richard, thanks for your faith in this one... I just entered one titled 'Their Main Squeeze' (Aug. 26), however. We'll see what happens. Thanks again. Best wishes, Gershon
