Once again, it\u2019s Limerick-Off time. I hope you\u2019ll join me in writing a limerick with this first line: <\/p>\n
A man who owned only one suit…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Here\u2019s mine. (It\u2019s a six-verse limerick, but a standard one-verse limerick is fine, of course.)<\/p>\n
Suitable Verse
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\nA man who owned only one suit
\nCould afford many more with his loot.
\nBut he hated to wear’em
\nAnd just could not bear’em,
\nWhich led to a workplace dispute.<\/p>\nThe co that he worked for was sold.
\n“The new owner likes suits,” he was told.
\n“That’s too bad,” he replied.
\n“I just can not abide
\nDressing up and I won’t be controlled.”<\/p>\n“Read my memo — now suits are a must,”
\nHe was warned. “You must look upper crust.”
\nHe replied, “Won’t comply!”
\n“Then I bid you goodbye,”
\nSaid the buyer, with scorn and disgust.<\/p>\n“But wait, there’s a suit that I like,”
\nHe responded. “I won’t take a hike.
\nIt’s a suit of this sort:
\nI shall take you to court.
\nWatch your legal bills mount up and spike.”<\/p>\nThe new owner refused to back down.
\nHe assumed that the guy was a clown
\nWho never would sue.
\nThat assumption, he’d rue.
\nHe soon learned that this “clown” owned the town.<\/p>\nYes, he worked just for fun — that’s the hitch.
\nHe missed working — it gave him an itch.
\nSo he did<\/strong> file that suit
\nAnd won even more loot.
\nThen he bought out the co. Ain’t that rich?<\/p>\n
