    There was a new cyclops in Cork
    The neighborhood children dubbed “Dork”.
    He changed to his kind
    With flatware designed
    As an eyeball removing fork.

    JoP's dark musing that puns could run out someday has me scared. So scared that I couldn't write a limerick with a pun in it, that used his sig for the final line. Maybe it's happening already.

    You guys should know the only way to stop a bad guy with a pun is a good guy with a pun. And don't go telling me that just escalates the problem or you'll get the thousand yard stair.

    I think you need to baguette - instead of rising to the occasion.
