On the Discovery of High Noon and The Devil in a Glass Jar. (Limerick) by MacFrantic
Whenever I think of the West It reminds me of times of unrest When a young, bleeding man With a six-gun in hand Harbors doubts that he's truly the best I found Satan out in my yard He demanded my soul I discard I remained unafraid For he threatened and brayed From within his wee hell, tightly jarred

Up the ladder: Desperate Season
Down the ladder: PEOPLE. (Debut)

I fail to see the connection between the two limericks, but I do not see a real need for connection... after all we can only post every 2 days. Funny limericks.

Help me with "tightly jarred"

Good ones, even with my confusion.

*jarred* means -put in a jar- I was simply going for the image of the devil demanding my soul from within a jar. Which reminds me.

"In England Smoky the Bear is not the forest fire prevention representative. They have Smacky the Frog.
It's just like a bear, but it's a frog. I think it's a better system, I think we should adopt it. Because bears
can be mean, but frogs are always cool. Never has there been a frog hopping toward me, and I thought
' man, I'd better play dead. Here comes that frog...' You never say here comes that frog in a nervous
manner. It's always optimistic. Hey here comes that frog, al-right. Maybe he'll come near me so I can
pet him, and stick him in a mayonnaise jar, with a stick and a leaf, to recreate what he's used to."

I'm sorry it wasn't you who wrote the frog thing. Just the name alone puts my asthma into overtime.

Obviously Mitch wasn't in Cedar Grove, TN for the 'Great Frog Attack of '76'.
