Notes About The Poem

May 31, 2024, placed 2nd in Joseph May's Palindrome Limerick Contest

               **********************************************

The Man Obsessed with Statistics

Dad writes articles chock-full of stats.
Just refer to his latest on rats!
Both my brothers, my sis,
Mom, and I all say this:
We'd prefer sagas starring cute cats.
 

Name now one man but Dad who would say,
"Evil rats on no star live" today.
Next, I'll make you say 'WOW!'
with my ana* on cows,
Then my top spot award, I'll display.”
