2. THIS WEEK'S PUZZLE

"Enchanted Limericks"

In one limerick, there are spaces
That are placed in the incorrect places
Another you must decrypt,
And letters have been flipped
In the remaining of the three cases.

(For your puzzle-solving pleasure, capital letters have been lowered, and
all punctuation marks have been removed. Yes, even the ones that might
help you in a cryptogram. In one of the limericks below, the missing
punctuation marks are necessary to understand the word play that gets the
lines to rhyme.)
