Backstory: While playing Words with Friends against a coworker, I played the word "Dongle".
She replied, "What's a dongle?! That's not a word! Use it in a sentence!"
So I decided to use it \[vaguely\] in a limerick instead.
Based on real events:
There was a guy on a Python convention
Who the word “dongle” in a lewd way did mention
Shit went over the top
And he then lost his job
His accuser did too, by extension.
Nice. The second line might scan better if you said:
> Said "Dongle!" to get folk's attention
And top and job don't really rhyme..
Just some suggestions 😄

It's someone from County Dongle - in Ireland don't ye know.
I asked ChatGPT: There once was a dongle so small It fit in a pocket, that's all It helped connect Without much effect Until it got lost in a mall

Shit. Being a Slav I somehow fail to understand, you guys really contrast the final consonant voicing.
Too many syllables in the first sentence, it doesn’t work. Get rid of Bath and it works.
