Alliterative Communal Not-quite Limericks

Insipired by a happy error in the Limerick thread, I thought I'd propose the following:

Rather than follow the standard Limerick rhyming scheme of AABBA, let's rhyme the last line with the previous two for AABBB.

Here's the example from the Limerick board, penned by Tall Thin Duke, RevEf, funkytuba and yours truly.

Note that the first verse is the standard limerick rhyme; the second verse is the model for this thread.

(AABBA)
A bully named Billy from Philly
Grabbed Tim by the hair and his willy
"Your willy's so wooly!"
Said Billy so cooly
And on the spot made Tim his fillie.


(AABBB)
Disgruntled by this were Tim's folks
No joke was this bloke who Tim pokes
A felon and thug
Who fell on a butt plug
Was a thug with a plug they din't dug


AND! We'll try as much as possible for some intra-line rhyming and alliteration. (Although it's not such a hard and fast rule that we should let that dampen our creativity.)


I'll start:

Sadly, Sam sat, fat sans sari
