Sherman was a Jewish comedian who won the 1964 Comedy Recording Grammy for "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah." He was well-known for parodying famous songs by adding humorous lyrics. This limerick was inspired by his skewering of Torna a Surriento (Come back to Sorrento.) Hear it on youtube-- it starts about 26:20.
A mopey old fellow named Marcus,
Would dress up when things looked the darkes'.
He'd wear his best suit
And a tie that was cute --
Felt good by adorning his carcass.
