There Once was a Man from Nantucket.

Economy Limerick for National Poetry Month

Sandra Essary
There once was a man from Nantucket,
Whose money was kept in a bucket,
The money got wet
He was in a fret
So said, "well, just f'rget it."

    There once was a man from Nantucket,
    An oyster, there was, in his bucket,
    When asked his intent,
    The reply from this gent -

    "If it matters to you, I'll shuck it!"

    btw, I grew up in Bakersfield. I kinda miss that place.

    Clever last word...I got it.

  • Sandra Essary4/10/2009

    Well, um, the intent was a substitute for what would naturally rhyme with "Nantucket".

  • Deonils4/10/2009

    It would have been better if the Bankers said "Let's forego it!"
