Ok. David challenged me to finish his quirky little limerick…and here is the finished piece [with complete “irreverence” ;)]:
***
There once was a young bloke from Sydney
Who drank till he ruined a kidney.
So he traded his suds
For some Mexican “buds”,
And now he smokes like a chimney!

[I liked the above version better than my first version…]:
There once was a young bloke from Sydney
Who drank till he ruined a kidney.
So when he peed red
He threw back his head,
And started to scream like a Banshee.
Woot! Too much fun at the Tavern today…Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to attend to my Serpent piece!

Ramblings From the Mermaid Tavern 
Nice work all round. The hard part is that there aren’t many words that rhyme with Sydney, for the last line.
But you, my friend, have done admirably!
Do keep in touch …..
first one is much better. very clever.
I enjoyed both very much. . but thought the first rolled a bit easier off the tongue.
Dont know if you mind criticism, so I hope mine doesnt offend *eek!*
Of course I liked the first one very much. Gee, I wonder why???
