'More about...Chifforobe•Chifforobe -Old, yet modern, furniture...A chifforobe is "a modern invention, having been in use only a short time." That is what you see if you look in the 1908 Sears Catalog, which is [supposedly] the first time the chifforobe was introduced to the furniture buying public. It is basically a tall, free-standing closet for your hanging clothes with a set of drawers for other clothing.Often described as a mixture of an armoire, a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, chifforobe components are usually arranged side-by-side (but may also have the hanging clothes section above one or two drawers). The chifforobe became popular because turn of the century (1900) homes did not have much closet space -because most families did not have many clothes. However, with the growing affluence of the early 1900s, people all of a sudden needed more storage space. It was much more convenient to buy a chifforobe from Sears than to remodel a bedroom or two.'

"Works balmy more than funny" doesn't scan properly for a limerick.
How 'bout: "Is balmy much more than he's funny"?
You're welcome. Call me anytime.
I like to mix iambs in with the anapests.
Cool. I write lots of limericks. Did my entire newspaper column in limerick form, once. Yours are generally more clever than mine.
