Limerick 11

There once was a chap from Kilkerry,
Who's arms were as brown as a berry,
But the hue of his face
As he tied up his lace
Was as red as a bottle of sherry.

    I do like a nice drop of Sherry
    and often I pop in a cherry,
    but my face gets quite hot
    as the drink hits the spot
    and it always upsets my poor belly.
