You are a master of Limericks my friend, Tom that are funny but this one I cannot enjoy for I understand that poor Jimmy had not fun in the hands of Pablo! Good luck though in the contest!

Thanks Demetrios, Not so much on the bawdy more on the dark.Anyone inflicting 'fun' on someone else needs locking up for a long time. Tom.
