Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

A Big Rowdy Drunk

There once was a prizefighting cop named Mick
Whose two fists flew furiously quick
   He saw a big rowdy drunk
   Whose awful breath really stunk
Mick flashed his badge, then took out his nightstick

But that drunk was truly a great poet
And his whiskey-fueled lips really showed it:
   "Hey, cop, watch my lips
    As I rotate my hips
~ You're a mite light, and everyone knows it"

Judy Ball October 25, 2019 at 10:01 AM Hmmmm Sounds to me like that drunk was just begging for that nightstick right up side the head. And then to top it off to wake up in the pokey. Nice job Gershon. God Bless, JB Gershon Wolf October 25, 2019 at 1:37 PM Sounds like you've 1/2 a story in your comment, my friend: … So, when Rowdy woke up in the pokey, Sheriff Gumby was staring a hole in his night-cloaky… (Groan?!) :) gw

Chris Green October 24, 2019 at 3:45 PM I saw the title of this and thought....Hey Gershon wrote a poem about me. : ) This was fun my friend. Chris Green October 24, 2019 at 5:04 PM No, but I do write with one hand tied behind my back...my writing hand. : ) Just kidding. You are very welcome my friend.

I know when my leg's being pulled, my friend --- and hard! But please know that I value and love these comments just as much as the praise-ful ones. Thanks! Cheers, Gershon
