Written for Esther’s Laughing Along
With A Limerick. The prompt word
is ‘box’ and this is my limerick.
An eccentric hoarder named Fox
Had a strictly mysterious box.
When he opened the lid
He discovered he’d hid
A collection of invisible clocks!

Well, well, invisible clocks
That’s one way of losing time
