A pig in a 'poke'... it's a 'bag'
with a cat or a dog; that's the snag. This undisclosed meat is less than discreet, and it could even be from a nag. ·······  ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

INGREDIMENTS
As for "undisclosed meat" I reply, in olden days no one was so shy now with "IngrediMents" we don't experience no surprises, no shocks, on the fly .... Alan ······· ······· |

First, for you, Daniel
Nosh a nag? Nauseatingly no! Dogs or cats in a bag? Let them go. For a Cochon de Lait With a spiced consommé Is the onliest way… Yes, I know! And then for Alan Meat with origins too indistinct, Undisclosed or thought to be extinct Would surprise and shock flies, Maybe cause one’s demise. You’d be locked in the nearest precinct. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

Yes, with flies in your locks you could be
more than just a bit flustered. I'd flee... but with locks on my fly I suspect I would die... or soak down my pants to the knee. ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

Being in a quandry with which direction I should take on this line of thought, I decided to take both!
Locks on flies? Are they curly or straight? Could a barber ever expiate? Would a crew cut or burr Or a shampoo deter Mature maggots from primping their pate? --- Flies on Lox? Only once in LA At an avant-garde weight loss café Salmon came a la carte, As did flies. The best part Was the pounds that went flying away. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

I was pondering on your shampoo...
Does it happen when you're in the loo expecting to go but nothing will show but the smell as your gas bids adieu? ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

well, sometimes... when dark... at tree-side. We've a magazine rack, but we've also a stack of tissue-rolls... gently applied. ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

Dear Larry,
Here I am laughing my head off - your quote by JFK (what ? JFK ? No !) "When power corrupts, poetry cleanses" is a much shorter statement of what we two have just been writing about ! Love Alan PS Actual limerick may follow, have not yet had time to think about it. ······· ······· |

Yes Alan, according to Merriam Webster's "Book of Quotations", that quote I have at the bottom of all my posts is attributed to JFK.
And now, for something completely different: Mr. Nash would be shocked with your rhyme For in even the remotest clime That colloquial sound Is not oval or round Unless slurred by Vermouth with a lime. And now, for something of a more topical nature: You must be wary of March’s Ides’ Said the Soothsayer of Caesar’s guides For the Senate, though split Would see you on a spit In the Forum and Back-um and sides ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.

(though unworthy of Throckmorton clan) to find city of gold, but, alas, ne’er behold; thus he’d often reside in the can. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.
