Mike and Bill

Alicia Willis 2006 (St.Louis)

Limerick
Mike was a man that was lonely
So he ate some macaroni
While playing with a puzzle
Trying to gain a muscle      
And watching TV closely   


Bill went to the basketball court
To practice for a report              
While shooting the ball              
And watching the wall                
Thinking about the resort
