Diverticulitis (Limerick) Poem by Spock the Vegan

Diverticulitis (Limerick)

Rating: 5.0


We divers were told by a man named Gus
When ocean diving, take a feather with us
Tickle the inside of the spout
of the whale to get spit out
He said whales don't like diver-tickle-itis

I doubt that will happen. Actually the whale didn't swallow the man, he was in its mouth.

That's funny! Did the man in the news story get spit out?

Yes he did, but I don't think he had a feather.

Very clever punch line! I'll try to remember to take feathers with me when I go swimming... wait, that's diving. I went diving once and it was not pleasant. My ears didn't like the pressure and bothered me the next two months! I did get to swim with and pet a manatee on the surface, though!
