Another Man In An Iron Mask?

There once was a wrestler from Hay
whose face was so ugly, they say,
that people would ask
that he wear a black mask
to hide his poor physog away.

Thanks to Tess for her Magpie Marvel this week..

    Great limerick. I ONLY write limericks (usually) when I'm with a group of writer friends, we've been drinking, and we decide to write round-robin limericks. A very unique Magpie for the mask...

    Oh Jinksy I like the light side. I don't care for African masks, although I do have one, I only keep it because the wood is so beautiful.

    Wonderful! (I don't think 'physog' translates to American. "Mug' does not have the gravitas!) haha!

    Dear Jinksy: Yes, masks do mask the man and his uggy "psyogs". The KISS lead singer must have him beat! Fun limerick..I'm gonna try one of those!

    Margaret - I think I’ve been making him sweat under the collar ever since I ‘met’ him in Blogland! He is a worthy opponent for a spot of jousting fun. This time we chose Limericks At Dawn! LOL

    You and the "Doc" both had me laughing with your mask limericks. I truly appreciated the light take on this "unusual" prompt!
