My next-door man was a postman
He stunted gimmicks like Tarzan 
I met a constable
And told him my trouble
He said, “I can’t treat your ailment”.

Andrea is a lovely girl
Who as a baby would in my arms curl
Full of mischief, she would try all sorts of gimmicks
Make all kinds of expressions and loves to mimick
She is tall and dusky, sings in a voice that is mellow and husky
Her graceful steps dance to every kind of modern tune
To BTS her favourite band she loves to swoon
It’s a joy to see her growing day by day
Im sure in life she will go a long long way....

“Smooth Mouths”

Lawyer’s moral , much like my limericks,
So full of bull and high flying gimmicks,
  When all the money is gone,
  Sing a different sad song,
Banks full of money, won’t buy all their tricks.

Literal limericks, gimmicks and tricks,
Philladelphia boys are really slick,
  From their silver tongue,
  The truth seldom sung, 
They know how to pocket, from pockets picked.

For: Lawyer Limericks
In honor of: Carolyn Devonshire...
