Made love to the corpse of his wife.
"How could I know, Judge?

Wow! Limericist, you are inspired recently. I began catching up about 12 limericks back and found them all excellent. Then this one which is super-classic. One of your very best for sure.
ReplyDeleteWoops, After publishing the above I reread it and then noticed the PD label, which I think means previously devised or some such. Still, your 679-685 are highly commendable, imho.
ReplyDeleteSuper "classic" is actually a very good description of this limerick since it is a famous one. BTW, "PD" stands for "Public Domain", though "previously devised" is good, too! I've also added a joke in PD33.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your compliment on 679-685.
