OP158. Is that a pickled pickle in your pocket...?

Since “The Limericist” can invoke poetic license with his last word of #1495, then so shall I do likewise with mine.
I’ve been told of a poor guy named Eric
Who was plagued by a wart on his derrick.
     But he made it go ‘way
     By applying each day
An appreciable dose of turmeric.       

I wonder how he mustard the courage to try it.
