New limerick game: Scranton
Well we’ll give it a go even if there is no one left to play.

In honor of either a) Joe Biden or b) The Office (US version) we’ll go for Scranton. I expect we might have enough entries by Christmas.

If you can't rhyme it, I'll accept Scranton PA which is a whole lot easier.

And to get you started...

A fellow from Scranton, PA
Said "I'll be the POTUS, one day"
But he grew very old
As the years simply rolled
By and by, but he DID get his way.

As usual, I'm struggling to think of something coherent, but I'm trying.

Use Scranton, PA... it's WAY easier to rhyme.

If all else fails I'll do so.

Edit: I sent something similar to a limerick to you, Bob, though it bears the odor of Epoisse de Bourgogne.

A limerick for Scranton PA?
"Nay" I say, " nay and thrice nay".
I just don't have the time
To search hard for a rhyme
I'm too busy just sleeping today.

Where there's a will there's a way.
Isn't that what some folk often say?
Don't admit your defeat!
Don't give up! Simply cheat!
Can't rhyme Scranton? Try Scranton PA!

You'll soon get a second from me, and Shufitz said he'd send one. Maybe we'll get a quorum.

Edit: I've sent another.

I've emailed Tinman requesting a limerick. Here's hoping...

Edit: He says he's drawn a blank. I suggested using S...PA. Here's hoping he comes up with one!
