Limerick #20: ABBAA


His punchlines always came first.
Couldn't hold a thought --
And he often forgot --
Where suspense tends to fare worst,
There was that limericist from Amherst...

(A "good" editor would, of course, reverse the line order:

There was that limericist from Amherst...
Where suspense tends to fare worst,
And he often forgot --
Couldn't hold a thought --
His punchlines always came first.)
