What Goes Up

What goes up must come down, but what Blair,
a disgusting dude, threw in the air
was not too appealing.
What stuck to the ceiling -
not to come down - was Blair’s underwear.

It happens! A limerick in its intended form. The word crude can be found in the definition. That is what it is meant to be. A Fav!

EWwww ... I thought it was gum or something ... now I'm wondering what would make it stick! Funny take on the contest ... the rhythm is different than your typical limerick.
