OP184. Foreskin and seven years ago

The story of Abraham Lincoln
One night went too far with his drincoln

On impulse, a decision - 
An adult circumcision
They botched it, and since, no more dincoln.

  1. I don't get "incoln." As in, "inkin'?" What stopped being inked?

    1. Of a better word, I couldn't think
      Which would do the job, so I used ink
      It's a quaint euphemism
      To replace the word "jism"
      So the inkin' was meant from his dink.

      Clearer?

  2. Yeah, somewhat clearer... I think you get to your meaning quicker, though, with an L5 like
    They botched it which stopped him from dincoln.

    1. Maybe. I'll think about it.

      I kinda built this limerick off the title. Usually the title is the last thing to come to me.

  3. I'm impressed that a Canuck would know the opening line of The Gettysburg Address!

  4. David, you have an interesting twist on History. Allow me to expand upon your speculation.

    Lincoln's impotence story is sad.
    But consider this: Should Abe have had
    . His botched bris twelve years earlier
    . (Its outcome no squirrellier),
    He'd find he was shorter a Tad.

    [The fourth and last of Abe's children (all sons), Thomas "Tad" Lincoln III, lived April 4, 1853, to July 15, 1871.]
