Avoiding the Irs

There once was a woman  named Roxanne
Who had sex with many a fine man
She charged a big fee
And made them agree
To never disclose the business she ran


For Deb's contest...

Sounds like the Perfumo scandal in the UK in the sixties. A politician with a Madame. Not for the last time I'll dare say. Many congrats in the contest Barbara....:)

This actually happened in Tallahassee, dear LNC. Her clientele were high ranking government officials, but eventually she got nabbed. Funny limerick! Congratulations on your success in Deb's contest! Love, Carolyn

She's not the same Roxanne the Police sing about, is she? This is a very cleverly written limerick.
