A limerick for the word 'blog'?

Did you know there was an online dictionary using limericks to define the meanings of words? Neither did I. But there is - it's The Omnificent English Dictionary In Limerick Form. Here, from amongst its many limericks, is a definition of 'amalgam':

An alloy of copper and tin
Is bronze, an amalgam akin
To gold in its shine,
Though it's not from a mine -
It's enriched by the copper within.
I came upon this via Graham Lester's blog, point2point. Graham has just added ten limericks to the dictionary, including this one:
An old British justice named Glover
Once murdered his wife and her lover.
A clue was then found:
His wig on the ground!
But you can't book a judge by his cover.
Here are the entries for 'blog'. Can you do better for that word? Send me your attempt.
