Jan Allison Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Tom Sawyer

Old Tom Sawyer went into St Bart’s
He said “Doc I am dropping huge farts”
The doc got a large trowel
To examine Tom’s bowel
As Tom’s flatus was way off the charts!

Doc announced, “My prognosis is clear,
But my findings you won’t want to hear -
The reason for the gas
Being passed from your ass
Is your diet of curry and beer!”

Checked using how many syllables
*St Bart’s is a famous hospital in London

Maurice Rigoler September 15, 2017 at 6:46 PM Am I to assume your Tom Sawyer is Mark Twain's literally character?
