The Irish pipe band played Amazing Grace Their drum major showed his skills with the mace In the air he threw it But misjudged and blew it When it came down and hit him in the face... Written 22 February 2021.

Good Morning Tom. This entry was a lot of fun. It reminded me of high school days as well with the majorettes. You gave us a fun moment in time. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day.

I think his pride was more hurt than his face. Hope you have a lovely weekend Richard. Tom

Oh that poor man. Not only the pain of embarassment but it hit him in the face too. The picture here fits perfectly. Hope it didn't hurt too much. God Bless and good luck in the contest. JB

Thank you Lindsay, I was in a band and our drum major dropped his mace in the Lord Mayor's procession, an embarrassing moment. Tom

That will teach him not to play with mace! Very funny limerick, Tom. Best wishes in Milton's contest! Hugs, carolyn

That photo you posted says it all. Much humor and creativity in this write, Tom. Too much Guinness? The best beer in the world (for me)! All the best.
