May 12th is National Limerick Day in honor of the birthday in 1812 of Edward Lear, the Poet who popularized the funny 5-line verse. But limericks share the date with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Awareness Day, International Nurses Day, National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day, National Hospital Day, National Odometer Day and National Nutty Fudge Day!
In honor of this day I will share with you my favorite Limerick. It contains something for everyone of the celebrants. As I have an eclectic audience with wide-ranging sensibilities, I thought it prudent to edit the limerick a bit so everyone can enjoy the uplifting message.
There once was a man from Nantucket,
Whose **** was so **** he could **** it.
Said he with a grin,
as he **** *** his chin.
If my *** was a **** I would **** it!
