Drimericks – Swordplay

I bet you thought I’d forgotten all about “Drimericks” (Drali Limericks), didn’t you?

You were right!

But then I remembered, so here’s another one, along with an accompanying DraliDoodleTM, lovingly crafted by our talented and professional team :-).

 

There once was a fencer named Gary
Who was quick with the thrust and the parry
But one day on the street
He fell over his feet
And skewered a postman named Barry.

Scewered

If you missed them, don’t forget to check out my previous Drimericks, “Angels” and “Man in a Tank“.

    Remember the days when dogs were the only real threat to postmen? What is this world coming to?

      I’m happy you liked them both.

    Love the blood spatter on the postman doodle. It adds a certain je ne sais quoi.

    Ali, That neighborhood may lose its postal service. 🙂 Fencing is the wrong sport for someone who has two left feet. 🙂 — Susan

      Certainly some sort of body armour would be required if our clumsy fencer is still at large 🙂

      Sadly, yes. Your route is now considered “too dangerous” 🙂

    I love the drawings–much better than I could do. The limerick ain’t half bad either 🙂

    I believe if you slaughter the postman, you are legally required to take over his route. Happy delivering, Gary…
