A Fruity And Funny Poetry Contest N/A

Bananas Here come the sailors of the Seventh Fleet With their bananas ripe, ready to eat The ladies, they like them firm Musty one’s make them squirm Why can’t liberty always be so sweet! Limes They’re green and round not yellow and curvy Bruised or mushed never—topsy turvy! Peeled back skin often slimy Best citrus fresh and limey Sailor lime-juicer’s sucked to cure scurvy

That's one way to be suggestive, without saying too much. : ) This is both fruity and fun ! Hmm, where's that banana ? Your thoughts bring a smile, Anaya. My best to you in the contest. :) Brandy

Both of these are really clever and allusive Anaya weather intended or not, ok I’ve a dirty mind, innuendo is off the scale, I’m going with limes but it’s a split decision, brilliant cheer’s David

Only one limerick, makes it tuff to detach them, as you say it makes sense together. Delighted you enjoyed, Anne-Lise! xhugs

That's me, I'm hoping someone will find it funny. Glad it was you, Tom. I'm having trouble detaching the two, just may leave it as is. Thank you, for the heads up! :)

Now by all means no, well okay this time one can read between the lines! Only one limerick in the contest, I'll need to knock one off. Thank you, S.V.!

Oh, haha, such creatively scribbled limericks! Brilliantly done with excellent wordplay.. I think I won't be good at the limerick form, maybe because I haven't tried one ever.. But you did it so well!
