CCXCIII - Sundry woes

Mad Kane has a regular limerick challenge.
She provides the first line, the rest is up to us.
I had two slants on it:
.
A man was recounting his woes,
About how he’d lost sight of his toes,
His mouth, he’d admit,
Was a bottomless pit:
It was a case of anything goes.
.
◊◊◊
.
A girl was recounting her woes
In finding some half decent clothes.
When her partner confessed
He preferred her undressed,
He’s now buried, under a rose.

  5. I like them both. The line you have in the second one (I assume it is after the change) works well! Poor fellow.

  6. A glutton and murderess.
    Nice going, Cosmo.

    The fact that she buried him under a rose cracks me up..
