LIMERICK: GASMAN, by                    
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.
