Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

And Away He Goes

Sent away at age five for the summer
  No way his parents could have been dumber
     On Johnny's first day at camp
     His pants were completely damp
  Not toilet-trained yet ~ That's a real bummer

Marikate Kingston January 22, 2023 at 5:19 PM "Bummer" for the counselors. Poor thing. Children start things too early anyway... don't they? Sad, all these hurried children. Gershon Wolf January 24, 2023 at 8:19 PM Yes, agreed. Let's keep kids off the toilet until at least 18. lol.

Bj Legros Kelley January 22, 2023 at 1:01 PM Poor little guy! Sad! There is such a thing as pull-ups....for a wet bumm...er!

Mike Gentile January 21, 2023 at 6:56 AM I never know where you are going GW when I start to read you! I sure was not expecting this, though it made me laugh!! May your Saturday be dry ( like your wit!!) Let's see what tomorrow brings!! Gershon Wolf January 21, 2023 at 7:25 PM You know, Mike, I never know exactly where I'm going either when I start to write. I'm forever flying by the seat of my pants. -- And a wide seat it's become! lol Thanks, gw

Valsa George January 20, 2023 at 7:12 PM Some parents fail in giving proper toilet training to their children and leave them in embarrassing situations. Poor Johnny! A funny limerick, dear Gershon Gershon Wolf January 21, 2023 at 7:22 PM Just as some children can't keep their cool 24/7. LOL. Thanks, Valsa

Heidi Sands January 20, 2023 at 1:23 PM Poor Johnny :(

M. L. Kiser January 20, 2023 at 1:05 PM Ooh, how embarrassing for him; I would not want to be in his shoes, rather...pants. Clever fun. Gershon Wolf January 21, 2023 at 7:07 PM I don't think you'd particularly care to be in his shoes either, M.L! Thanks, gw

Paula Goldsmith January 20, 2023 at 8:08 AM This is cute/sad. Poor boy. Yes, a real bummer. Have a great day/weekend............. Gershon Wolf January 20, 2023 at 12:32 PM You too, Paula!

Kenneth Cheney January 20, 2023 at 6:14 AM This little ditty hits upon a real world problem. Personally know a very good first grade teacher who quit the profession in part because she was fed up with dealing with potty training issues in the first grade. Gershon Wolf January 20, 2023 at 12:32 PM Really -- her own potty training? or the kids?' lol.

Tom Cunningham January 20, 2023 at 12:06 AM Oh dear, hope he had dark pants on. Tom Gershon Wolf January 20, 2023 at 12:31 PM Don't you want his pants to lighten up a tad, Tom?! lol.
