A Priest's Dilemma

A priest chanced to see a beautiful nun
With her, he wanted to have ‘real’ fun
He looked left and right
Saw no one in sight
But thought what he could do at eighty one

You did it! A limerick has been constructed and a bawdy one too, Valsa. I must say " you act like a nun, you'll get none. Lol B0l

Valsa, that was a pretty amusing limerick. Perhaps this priest would have better employed his knack of traveling through time to go back to some decades previously. Best wishes to you.

It's not the ones watching that should concern him , unless he might lose worship of man, only seeking to fool ones watching him into following him , in fun humor with this poem but much to gain in understanding from it as well : )

A very humorous Limerick, maybe the Priest should have used time travel to go back a couple of decades! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Where there is snow on the mountain there is a fire in the hearth. I like this catchy limerick. Reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go! Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page with a nice review of my work. Sara
