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.

    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!
