#limericks

A parcel of cookies! how scrummy!
They sped to his greedy, fat tummy.
But the glazing was laced
with arsenic paste;
when you're rich, you can't even trust mummy.

#LimerickChallenge: scrummy; #VSSPoem: momma

@Codgerverse Another good one! I've been perusing the very few (other than mine) limericks posted on Mastodon under #limericks in the last couple of months.)
@MadKane
Thanks! Blasts from the past are fun: when I saw that one popping up in my notifications, I thought, "Huh, someone bothered to write me a limerick in response. It's pretty good, too; who wrote it? Oh! I did!"
