Uncle Joe

Uncle Joe spends his days on death row,
for killing his best friend and Aunt Flo.
He found them in bed,
then filled them with lead.
Losing a friend hurts, don't you know?

Nice write, Wren. Love the last line. This reminds me of “Hey Joe” by Jimi Hendrix. Stay safe. ~Mark

G'day Wren … always pays to keep an eye on the ones closest to you. I think your limerick's topic happens quite often. Still, it made me giggle indeed - thank you Wren - Lindsay
