A Limerick, 'He Could Have Used Naas' Poem by Douglas Scotney
A Limerick, 'He Could Have Used Naas'
Rating: ★5.0
There's a town in Kildare called Athy.
Joyce used it to rhyme with a thigh.
He could have used Naas.
That rhymes with an arse.
But I think that his mind was too high.

There is never too high, or ever too low, just limits to the extent we are prepared to go.
