Vintage Boat Limerick - Mary Butler

There was a young boy from Lough Ree,
Who wanted to travel the sea.
So he built a small boat,
And set it afloat,
But forgot to get in it you see!

E.B. White Limerick - Minneapolis Journal Contest

A young man who liked to rock boats
In order to get people's goats
Gave just one more rock
Then suffered a shock
A bubble the spot now denotes.
