Limerick

From the Los Angeles Times:  With black hoods over their heads, five people trapped in a chain-link enclosure listen to an ominous monologue.
"Hello, my delicious friends," the voice purrs. "I've lived here for five years, and I've spent much of that time collecting delicate morsels like yourselves to help me with my little experiments."
Edward Tandy, the homicidal cannibal who has caged this group in his basement, lays out the rules of his game: They have 45 minutes to solve the puzzles inside and escape. Once time runs out, gas will be pumped in, putting the captives to sleep.
It sounds like the beginning of a horror flick, but these five brave souls have paid $30 each to get locked in an escape room, a fast-growing entertainment where players in elaborately decorated prisons must find clues to free themselves before time runs out. Corporations have discovered escape rooms for team-building and communication exercises.


A fool and his money soon part;
but that is just merely the start.
It seems nowadays 
there's too many ways
to waste all our coin a la carte.
