Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Heard the punch line on WGN-AM Radio 720's 'Speed Jokes,' 03/15/2022...

What Drink For a Man of Letters

Charles Dickens walked into a bar quite pissed
Seems in his latest reviews he was dissed
  To eat, 'Side of Linguini'
  To drink, 'Double Martini'
Bartender had to ask, 'Olive or Twist'

Valsa George March 17, 2022 at 8:58 PM This is indeed clever Gershon ! Not simply clever but ingenious too ! Greatly enjoyed the 'Twist' Gershon Wolf March 19, 2022 at 7:59 PM I'll take 'ingenious' any day of the week, Valsa. Only one tiny problem: I don't know who to apply it to! I know: I give full credit to my parents, my wife, my children, and the Lord Above. NOW, it's applied properly! Thanks, gw
