The Limerick Bug Bit
There once was a bomber named Ali,
Who set off to blow up a trolley,
But scratching an itch,
He flipped the switch,
So his death was nothing but folly.
Postscript: It is my impression that "Ali" is properly pronounced with emphasis on the first syllable. That is certainly the supposition I used with this limerick.
