The 'Skeeter and Peter
A limerick about Poor Peter and a skeeter, which is slang for mosquito.
The 'Skeeter and Peter
Limerick
There was a bright fellow named Peter,
Who struck at an active young 'skeeter,
But the 'skeeter struck first
And slackened his thirst,
For the 'skeeter was fleeter than Peter.
