Tickle Me Elmo

For each test I was offered two nickels,
but was sacked for my tally just trickles,
as there was no demo
on why with each Elmo,
I’m to give all of them two test tickles.

A clever one. I’m sure Elmo appreciates his Test Tickles. Thanks for your visits Lindsay. Hugs Rick.

Hello Richard ... I hope the Elmo's don't think they can start breeding now. Thanks for reading and commenting Richard - Lindsay

I don't understand this; who is Elmo? Aloha! Rico

Ah Rico ... gotcha! Elmo is on Sesame Street. They have him as a kids toy and when the kids tickle him he laughs, but giving him two test tickles was interpreted - I hope this makes it clearer Rico; if not-google him - Lindsay
