LIMERICK: GASMAN by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "A DECREPIT OLD GASMAN, NAMED PETER"
Last Line: "AND, AS ANYONE CAN SEE BY READING THIS, HE ALSO DESTROYED THE METER"

A decrepit old gas man named Peter,
While hunting around for the meter,
Touched a leak with his light.
He arose out of sight,
And, as anyone can see by reading this, he also destroyed the meter.
