I really hope I'm not too late to submit my own, highly intellectual limerick, which I wrote a few weeks ago, for the delectation and guffaw of the judges :-<br /><br />There once was a fella called Monckton,<br />Who claimed he’d been litigiously dumped on;<br />'Twas patent absurd,<br />But steam could be heard<br />Escaping clenched teeth as Abr’am debunked him.<br /><br />Apologies are due to John Abraham for the contraction of his name (from me) for reasons of scansion, and for the vain and absurd harassment (from other parties).<br /><br />I seriously hope the kind of tortuous "S.
