There was a young man from Limerick
Who didn’t know how to write Limericks
So instead he wrote a Haiku
And did that incorrectly.
Boom. Your welcome.
Should you find yourself sat in a cab
En route to a city so drab
That its only claim to fame
Is a poem of the same name
Write your own; just give it a stab
Is that last word a reference to Limerick’s unfairly-acquired one time nickname?
Well at least here the prize that they proffer
Is worth chasing them up on their offer
Unlike Broadsheet’s voucher;
should I prove I’m no sloucher?
And try adding this loot to my coffer.
