There was an old man said, "I fear
That life, my dear friends, is a bubble,
Still, with all due respect to a Philistine ear,
A limerick's best when it's double."
When they said, "But the waste
Of time, temper, taste!"
He gulped down his ink with cantankerous haste,
And chopped off his head with a shubble.
