Written for RDP, where Martha asks us
to get creative with the word “limerick”.
Thanks, Martha! Here’s where the prompt took me.
St Patrick’s Day Limerick
A barkeep from Dublin named Mick
Thought a green-tinted beer was the trick
So he drank the whole vat
Then fell flat on the mat
Looking more like a lime .… and quite sick!
Happy St. Patty’s Day, my friends!
