Wasn't it slabbed as Brilliant "Undefecated" ? Definitely a gem quality limerick...
Markets (governments) can remain irrational longer than an investor can remain solvent.
A man bought an orb made of platinum from the mint that does " dis and dat'' wit 'em It was off to the expert where a high grade means pay dirt and his pockets ? PCGS did fatten 'em.

Good job. It's amazing how few of these limericks actually follow the prescribed format for a limerick. Yours does and "flows" nicely. With a little effort, most of the others could too, I would think.
There once was a collector from Kent Whose cent in the middle was bent He always had trouble Since his damaged cent was double & wished it was an error from the mint

And what I collect's not the best
Though crazy, my goal's
To collect coins with holes-
They really look nice on my vest.
(Geez, that was hard. Good creative challenge, though- thanks.)
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
