A Sailor In Norfolk

A sailor aboard ship in Norfolk
was always quick with a ludicrous joke
Though his humor was lame
he quit the ship to seek fame
Now he's the laughingstock of Roanoke

Kim Rodrigues Date: 2/12/2022 7:15:00 PM I was a sailor in Norfolk and still remember the whistling sailors. I married one who was not on a ship. He walked into the theater with five sailor ladies. No other guy had one there. They were like “Hey, are they all with you?” And he said, “Yes. This is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.” I told him he married the best day of the week. I’m sure you can figure that out ;) Login to Reply

L Milton Hankins Date: 2/5/2022 12:44:00 PM Good one, Robert. You write enjoyable limericks. That's a talent, you know, which I unfortunately do not possess! I envy you. My attempts to write limericks pall beside yours! Login to Reply Robert Gorelick Date: 2/5/2022 5:21:00 PM I must have it going. Maybe I should be spread on butter, because I'm on a roll! Thank you, I appreciate your compliment.
