Limerick

Not long ago, as I was visiting with friends, my eleven year old grandson, Lachlan, stopped by with an impish grin on his face. He came to recite a limerick he had composed. When he was finished we all cracked up.

Who loved to sit down on the throne.
When requested to flush,
He said, "What's the rush?"
"I'm playing my built-in trombone!"
