Who's Carl?

shops
organic.

The Listener Limerick Challenge!
A listener completes newsy limericks, as read by Carl:
The English Collective of Prostitutes, ice cream
for grownups, and a Pee Wee King homage where we work in
a reference to an unrelated story about hogs and golf. It's amazing.

Three more bon mots from the week's news:

The rest of the week's news that we can
