Rob

Roberto Suárez Torres 1983 (New York)

Limerick
there once was a man named Rob,(named Rob)
who liked not to be called Bob, (called Bob)
no wife, nor any kid
he had (heaven forbid),
so when sad alone he sobs. (he sobs)

      Thanks for the comment. With all due respect, it's not a sad limerick, but again, thanks for the feedback.

      hahahahahaha yeah, it is a fact that the persona sobs, but a limerick is not always humorous, it can, only just be suggestive, which this one is not humorous, well at least that wasn't my intention. rather, merely as I said suggestive, lol
