Tekstulineto

Iam estis virin' el Dorseto
Kun multege da libroj sur breto
Oni ofte ŝin mokis
Kaj rezone sufokis
Tamen restis ŝi tekstulineto.

An optimistic Presidento
Wrote limericks in Esperanto
A convenient dodge
Whose obscurity-oj
May not have been quite what he meanto.

There once was a Captain called Haddock
Who lived like a horse in a paddock
Except that he didn't
There's no antecedent
To this limerick which is quite baddock.
