Does anyone use a glass? I drink from cow's teet. Milk, not rum! Bri :) I see no pun, Rajnish.

Some people at the age of ninety never use glass or spectacle. A boy stood and said that his father never use glass in drinking rum and it created laugh in the science class. You have very cutely and insightfully delineated this Limerick full with fun. Thank you madam. Visited time and again.

(CONT.) 2 – but i like what the kid said. AND maybe i did not understand what (exactly) the teacher was saying when i read it the first time. i assumed s/he meant 'use glass' to drink from, BUT maybe, being a science teacher, s/he was saying some people use plastic for this and that, even if they'd used glass items at an earlier age? ? bri (:

1 – 1 1/2 years after my first comment, i have MORE TO SAY! [no great surprise] i don't like glass/glass. i'd prefer one (“glass”) to be “”, but i'm not sure how to change the poem accordingly. hmm? and said/thud is weak, AT least the way I pronounce them. (CONT.)
