That poetic old fella, Sir Sydney,
Had a strangely balloon-shaped left kidney.
He strutted about
With this lump sticking out ~
Well, he made 'em all look at him, didn't he?

Sidney was indeed a fine poet and a fine patron of poets. Thanks for including him on the competition.

Sir Sidney said. ‘Look at my bump’
It’s my kidney sir, no not a hump,
And when I am able
I’ll jump on the table
And hopefully land with a thump!
Loved your Limerick, please excuse my return in Limerick form, sometimes I can’t help myself. Thanks for your entry. Von

Very amusing limerick you've penned. I do vaguely remember this figure from my history lessons! Good luck in the contest.
