There once was an old man of Lee,

Who was stung on the nose by a wasp,

So he, with his vest,

Took a swipe at the offending hymenopteran,

Missed, and got stung on the elbow.

Another entry for the Ispirare March Madness Limerick competition.

Just in case it needs translation...

There once was an old man of Lee,
Who got stung on the nose by a bee,
So he, with his vest,
Took a swipe at the pest,
Missed, and got stung on the knee! (or chest - depending on the rhyming scheme)


Didn't quite have the same ring to it though!!
