Rob



there once was a man named Rob,(named Rob)
who liked not to be called Bob, (called Bob)
no wife, nor any kid
he had (heaven forbid),
so when sad alone he sobs. (he sobs)

      hahahahahaha yeah, it is a fact that the persona sobs, but a limerick is not always humorous, it can, only just be suggestive, which this one is not humorous, well at least that wasn't my intention. rather, merely as I said suggestive, lol
