Torched

There was a fire eater named Glinder
Who performed for a circus in Flinder.
He pushed the torch down far
Forgetting his hours at a bar. 
All that remains of Glinder is a cinder.

LOL! Poor Glinder! Since what remains of him's just a cinder/ to take up Lindsay's call, none will hinder / so pick up your pen / we'll count up to ten / else we'll use your drinking mate for tinder! :D Kim

Kim, I appreciate your exceptionally clever response. In fact, it's probably better than my limerick!

G'day Paul... That's what Glinder gets from drinking bloody moonshine. Crikey Paul, he could have ended up on the moon as a cinder. There's a joke here about two blokes drinking aero plane fuel and when one farted he ended up in New Zealand. Perhaps you could configure this into a limerick seeing your exceptionally good at writing limericks Paul. Thanks again mate - Lindsay

Lindsay, thank you for thinking I might be equal to your challenge. That's an authentic compliment. Well, actually, I'm about to post my response. I hope you won't be disappointed.
