An Irish Tale

Poor Dervla's as mad as a ditch

Been acting the maggot with Mitch

That git's had a wheen

Who knows where he's been

Bad case of the crabs made her itch

A/N I wrote this Limerick for the @PoetsCorner Double Contest. I wrote it using Irish slang. "Wheen" means an undetermined amount. "Mad as a ditch" means less sane than normal. "Acting the maggot" means playing around. And "Dervla" is an Irish name that means "poet's daughter."
