A young man from Geelong (seriously a limerick)

There was a young man from Geelong
Who felt like he didn't belong
So off came his shirt
Thrown into the dirt
And killed all the townsfolk with song

Spam, spam spam,spam..

I don't like spam! (I kid) Haha, I do like the limerick.. and in Black-town, Rooty Hill Novatel at the moment, the RSL, the pokies, the night has been long...so to speak. Does wonders for composition. Thanks Jess.

You can, Wesley.

You just don't really want to.
If I was your mentor I would strap you to a chair with a 'puter in front of you and make you write dirty limericks and filthy senryu until your fingers bled.

Um... maybe that's why I have so few protegees [grins].
