Ode to Tom Martin

This was one of the earlier limericks I wrote. It was written for my friend Tom Martin, who was getting married. Tom had been a bachelor for a couple of years and this was just an attempt at poking a little fun at him. I wrote this on a piece of paper and slipped it to him at the reception.

Ode to Tom Martin

There once was a fellow named Martin.
Whose lunches it's said came in cartons.
Till the day he met Jan,
And said unworthy I am,
But she'll be my wife for certain.
