Tubby Triplet Troubles

Retaliatory Repercussions
                         by Sean Kelly

A young fertile mother begat
Triplets, called Tim, Tom and Tat
Great fun at breeding
Confusion at feeding
When she found there was no tit-for-tat
   ( Chosen because it made me laugh..Sean always does...)


Tubby Triplet  Trouble

The triplets became very fat
Except for the one called Tat
He became very slim
"Cause he went to the gym
Tim and Tom thought him a brat

The fat ones started to cry
Thought about giving up pie
When Tat found a girl
And gave her a whirl
Their cravings started to die

For the Double Limerick contest...
