Don'T Tell My Dad

There once was a young tot named Fazool Who attends a posh nursery school Got himself in a pickle For charging a mere nickel Each time he let a girl see his tool. Fazool was an enterprising lad He didn't think it was awfully bad To expose his small private He would surely survive it As long as nobody told his dad!

Hi L. Milton, He might as well brace himself; I'm sure someone at the school is going to tell his dad. Best wishes in the contest:-) Alexis

Oh well, Alexis. That would be fodder for another limerick, wouldn't it? Thanks for stopping by.

Ha ha. Fazool – that's a new one to add to a list of dozens more for the male member. In classical Latin, it's "penis" but its vulgar counterpart is "mentula". Roman poets Martial and Catullus use it often in their less polite verses. I'd attempt to post a short poem by Martial using "mentula" but I doubt it would escape the prudish eyes of those in command. / Thanks for stopping by. / Maurice

Hmmm...well, it was a word I came up with in my meager brain for the boy, in this case. He called his penis his "tool," a word I suppose he got from the dad he feared! Thanks for the reading and information. I appreciate you!

Hope his father doesn't find out. Now I'm wondering what the right price for a peek at Fazool's tool would be :) Enjoyed, Milton. Best wishes in Tania's fun contest!

Hmmmm. I'd say a nickels a lot when you're a tot! And, just think, twenty peeks would earn a dollar! Thanks for your best wishes, Carolyn.
