Each person posts one line of a limerick.
(5 lines in total, rhyme a, rhyme a, rhyme b, rhyme b, rhyme a)

So here goes...

That is very interesting about accents because, as I've read through the past limericks, I've also noticed a lack of apparent rhyming due to people's locations. I was wondering just recently about "moor" and "claw," which don't rhyme to me and many others on previous posts.

But you are right, indeed! "Yelp" and "out" do sort of rhyme here! Too funny. lol

I could revise the limerick, though:

A mortician lost his way to the grave
Turned his hearse on a road that's unpaved
The body fell out
Dead guy gave a shout
And, so, one more life was saved!
