This poor piece of wood,
And maybe I should
Stay with it until it has calmed.

I received two books as a gift,
But I felt my attitude shift.
'Twixt Jonathan's satire
And young Tom's new gyre,
My turnaround was none too swift.

The ones we've most carefully hoarded
Are the limericks spun
Which prove that the pun
Is mightier, by far, than the sordid.

In serving as pun's grinding stone.
With parallels endless,
Although he'll be friendless,
The punster need never atone.

And submitted ten.
As for winning, no pun in ten did.
