Another cute one. wEll, I best be off for now. I had to see this last one because I have a poem with this same title but it's not a limerick! Nice seeing your poems today and I hope to get to know you better!

Great write, humorous, but with an underlying message and social commentary. Nicely done Paul.

G'day Paul... a cousin of mine once tried to imitate a cop... to an undercover cop. He got his comeuppance like Jum is about to. Catch you Paul - Lindsay

That's funny--trying to imitate a cop to a cop. My guess is that he subsequently gave up his cop imitation routine. . . . I'm behind on reading your superb story-poems, but will repent soon. Thanks for stopping by, Lindsay.
