A LIMERICK FOR ST. PADDY'S DAY

There once was a miser named Clarence
Who simonized* both of his parents;
"The initial expense,"
he remarked, "is immense,
But it saves on the wearance and tearance."

-- By Ogden Nash

(*to “simonize” is to polish, as with wax)

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, to all my fellow Blarney Stone-kissers,
and may the coming year put minimal wearance and tearance
on your wee bod!
