mounted daily as he mounted the chair
the housekeeper’s cat
the monsignor’s hat
and the bishop’s rump steak medium rare

That rump steak at the end summed it up..
Rajiv,
Thank You
I am a wee bit biased. I love rump steak.. So, my Hindu brethren would love to excommunicate me!
The final line is a killer! You are one naughty boy and Winnie and myself love you.
Harry
Thank you Winnie and Harry
This is fabulous, this is not the first time your writing has sent me googling…I have just come from “History of Parish Clergy” -). Yes, I take these gems of yours very seriously… Big smile and hug!

Holly,
Big hug to you, too, for liking and supporting..and happy you take them seriously…I LOVE that, lol
Oh, you master of wordplay! This one’s hilarious–the best part is that you made the steak a “rump steak!”
Ah yes, Willow, no other steak would be good enough..I know you ‘forgive’ my little bits of wickedness, that one I couldn’t resist
Big Hugs

Perfect way to start a Saturday – with a clever limerick and a smile on my face as a result. Well done!
And, Kate, yesterday was Smile Day so I’m glad I was able to make a small contribution.
A big hug

Wicked my friend and wickedly humorous, just the way I like it! This deserves a bravo or three.
Jon, My Friend,
I know how much you enjoy wicked so I’ m happy if this little piece of nonsense fits the bill.
Ever Your Friend

The Cat and the Hat are giving an (unintentional?) nod to Dr.Seuss.
A bold intent
if not truly meant
but who’s going to give you the noose?
Thank you very much for reading and for taking the time to respond.
Best Wishes
John

Ha…”rump steak” is an ending like no other.
Have enjoyed all your Haiku’s…..so now the Limericks. Not as familiar with these, so looking forward to them.
