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!)

Yeah, that's what I meant, Rhuby, but I was too polite to say so.

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. _____________________________________________
