OP It has been suggested to me, quite sensibly I agree, that I indulge my interest in limericks by posting a Limerick thread. So I am.
I am calling the thread "The Limerick News" because each limerick will be inspired by a recent story in a leading newspaper.
Today's first limerick is inspired by "Accessory to Murder" in today's New York Times [posted in "Miscellany"]. Here's an extract:
"A backpack! Has a more ordinary, more benign, more ubiquitous accouterment of modern life ever taken on such a sudden connotation of darkness?"
Consider the once geeky backpack
Loaded with books and a snack -
Get out of the way
'Cause on the subway
The load could explode on a back.
