If the pun is fun as you say
Then why am I left in dismay
When most puns get a punt
Like the ugliest runt
In a litter of conversational play?

A limerick is a kissing cousin to a pun - as ungainly to some as it is endearing in its idiosyncracy to others.

In a "Wordplay" thread with puns apunting punditrivially, I hope a limerick of equally frivolous and innocuous intent will not be considered out of place.

I hope.
