Had a brain that was really quite blank
He found it a strain
To remember his name
So he decided to call himself Frank! ;)
Thanks for joining in with your limericks, everyone!
A very strange fellow named Frank

If that wasn’t enough
For deference, a rough
Bunch of guys always had Blue Eyes’ flank.
Here’s mine – although for some strange reason I didn’t use the given first line. It’s optional, right? :)
Click here for this ditty to haunt you for the rest of your life!
Thank you! I’m going to have another go tomorrow! Need lots of practice.
A very strange fellow named Frank
went to rob his neighborhood bank
Unfortunately the crash
Left them so short of cash
