Notes About The Poem

My limericks, with commentary, are collected in Original Clean Limericks, available from Amazon. See my book links.

Tying off a loose end, this poem completes an interrupted limerick in my short story The Prose and Verse.

The Aged Combatants

Their fists were of furious intent,
But backs were too aged and bent.
It wasn't the seizing,
But rather the wheezing,
That both to the hospital sent.
