2740. Discard iff you don't like

Henry Winkler got rich playing Fonzi
Then went broke from a scheme known as "Ponzi"
As the wind left his sails
You could hear his loud wales*
All the way from L.A. clear to Swansea.
* for the pun

  1. Never had I heard of Swansea (Wales or Illinois) until I looked it up, clued in by "Card iff" from your title. I confess to a "D'oh!" moment when I realized I had missed the L4 "wails" pun in your original version (before, regrettably, you chose to "dumb it down" for us peons).
    You have, however, inspired a challenge of a place name on which to limericize. Try Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
    My research also identified the apparent source of the kindergarten song:
    . We're all in our places
    . With bright, shining faces.
    . Glamorgan to you...
