Here I stand at a sink piled with dishes;
Oh, I’ll do them– It’s what my wife wishes.
In our home, that’s the trade
For the supper she’s made–
Tonight it’s five loaves and two fishes.
Errol Nimbly’s muse appears as a libidinous Limerickian leprechaun. Errol works less and less as a library custodian these days, as his fledgling detective agency, Furtive Fotos Ltd. is keeping him quite busy of late.

cute – reminds of Biblical story when Jesus taught how sharing cam multiply the potential of available resources -does not this poem reflect the same – the power and satisfaction in sharing?
