Two Limericks, Strictly For the Birds

~ CONFUSED MALE CANARY ~

  There once was a confused male canary
  Who fancied himself a real cute faerie
     He found a male friend
     Peered in his rear end
  Pulled out a note: "Hi, My name's Mary."  



   ~ POOR KITTEN NAMED **** ~

  Sue took in a poor kitten she named ****
  Showed her a reefer, some really good stuff
     **** whipped out a badge
     Inscribed with this adage
  You were busted when you took your first puff

I laughed my kvass off reading the first one)) Alas, my English yet is not good enough to get the second's punch line. No, seriously, what am I missing? It was an undercover kitten, wasn't it?

Your English has to be better than the censor's. PS censored 'Muff!' For what?! Go figure. At any rate, you got it. Jt WAS an undercover kitten. ~

Ha, ha! You wrote that I need to write comedy. As the standard comeback goes: Whaddya think I'm dong right now?! LOL. Thanks for the encouragement. You've given me a real boost! If a former Second City denizen thinks this stuff is funny, I may actually be getting somewhere! Thanks, ~ SIC (Still in Chicago)
