There Was a Man

There was a man from Nantucket
who kept all his money in his pocket
when he got cleaned out
took his gun out
and shot the moth in his pocket.

Hey Francis. There was something just kind of strange and funny to me about the last line of your limerick. Yours is the exception. I found it kind of humorous, but you used the same rhyming words too often!! Congrats in my contest.
