Limerick on Luther

During my first semester in college I learned my favorite fact about Martin Luther. His revolutionary revelations were facilitated by long hours enduring digestive issues. As a good Catholic and teenage smart ass, I couldn’t help but pen the following limerick:

Luther suffered severe constipation

Causing him years of hellish frustration.

In the hours he sat

Quite the worst that he shat

We now call “Protestant Reformation.”

 I have yet to and may never write anything finer.
