Unstrung

John was a boy who loved to whittle.
One day he made himself a fiddle.
It produced a bad sound
The worst to be found.
Forcing John to decide to whittle little.

Thanks for the stop by, Paul. But my limerick is not "genius." Nothing I write is. However, I did enjoy writing this one. Your Unstrung is just as good as the one I read earlier. Keep at it. / M

Thanks, Maurice. Sorry to be tardy in responding (computer gremlins are partly to blame together with the wages of age).

Thank you, Jan. Your kinds words are, to me, a 21st Century Balm of Gilead.
