Wrote a limerick for the Martini House Gang...and then realized why it wasn't much good. Just not funny. Can't be a limerick if there aren't any guffaws; the very structure of a limerick refuses any sort of seriousness. So this below might engender a quick smirk or two, but there's no real humor.
After 10 p.m. in the town of St Helena
no meal can be found, hi-fat or leana
'cept at the gas station mini-mart
there are bagel-dogs and apple-tarts
that we purchase from a counter-clerk named Tina.
Now, the task before me: funny this limerick up.
There once was a town named St Helena
