It's always unwise to insult
Practitioners of the occult;
If an oddball white witch
Is called a mad bitch,
A darker-hued spell may result.

Wonderful, yes, but strange. What are the odds that a Podunk village like London would have two great limerick masters? I'm not saying that Rhubarb Commando is A C Bowden and vice versa. I'm just saying...  Ever see then on the same stage at the same time?  It's only ACB who comes from the podunk village, jj - I come from the up-market, highly civilised city of Lancaster, Lancashire, which is far removed from the stinks and stews of London (removed by better part of 300 good miles!)

That's true, Rhuby, he is the essence of polite-ness.

I never ran across either of them when I was in London, of
course the pubs I was in there was singing not limerick
composing. Well, I tended to use the cellars of coffee bars and play washboard in skiffle groups.  But, in any case, that was prolly a bit before your time in The Great Wen And you're quite right: la politesse is the leit motif of our exponent of the sackbut (Thinks: Did he play in the Tittipu Town Band?)

The parchment was full of lacunae:
One incomplete phrase really drew me.
It fairly set me ablaze -
I just had to paraphrase –
And the long-dead author can’t sue me!

Gee whiz, Commando, intellectual banter such as that is usually overheard only in downtown London. I, a country girl, am impressed. ____________________________________________________________ With every post you post the proof of your immortality is hereby reaffirmed. _____________________________________________
