A Knotty Problem (Limerick)
This limerick is a very compressed version of a necktie adventure with hubby Mark. And I can’t think of a better way to celebrate “International Necktie Day.”
“You MUST wear a necktie to enter,”
Mark was told. He’s a necktie dissenter,
But he re-tied his tie
Till our drinks were dropped by,
Then removed it — my waitress tormenter.

RE: “A Knotty Problem” By Mad Kane
“Few Ties Will Bind The Legal Mind
That Lives By Loopholes It Can Find”1
Through the door, as Mark went, it was tied.
Thus, he didn’t dissent. He complied.
And undone, it was borne
— indisputably worn.
No intent to torment could be tried.
His conduct, perhaps disconcerting,
was merely his way of asserting
that intent to confine
by a vaguely done sign
gains nothing but unwanted flirting…
…which might be to spousal surmise
a sign that he needs to revise
his thinking pro bono
she’s linking to no-no
that crime or no crime she’ll despise!
