LIMERICK PLUS by Phil Comer

A a limerick that doesn’t know when to quit.

DUCK IN WATER
There once was a man from Barbados
Who stuffed his cellar with tomatoes.
He started to shiver, and said with a quiver,
"Now where will I hide from tornadoes?"

Avast!


There are no tornadoes on Barbados!
Occasional cyclones make tourists groan,
A sometime hurricane drives ships from the main,
Locals crave tomatoes and potatoes.
Soprano castratoes? Obbligatos!
But, tornadoes are verboten on Barbados!


 
Next in the Silly Poem series:
“Song for Benny,” a ballad of Lowcountry, Jawja.  (Go!)
