Bonfire of the Varices

There was once a young Madam from Paris Who liked to sun herself on the terrace Her legs covered modestly But not from hypocrisy, From her varices, she wanted to spare us. For Jan's Limereick 11 Contest. Saturday February 20th. 2016 ~First Place ~ ALL YOURS(JUN 8) Poetry Contest Brian Strand

Ha ha Nette: Hope you have picked yourself up by now. Had an enforced break from the Soup. Hubby not well and house cleaning for listing. No time for sunning on the terrace now. Loved, always. SuZ

As with your last limerick, I learned yet another new word, "varices" ... some people do have strange looking legs. Good one, Suzanne. I thought it was funny.

Ha ha Tim: More commonly referred to as varicose veins, or as my girlfriends say, "very close veins'. SuZ
